Replication Transcription Translation

What is the Central Dogma of molecular biology?

• DNA replication, RNA transcription, mRNA to protein

• DNA replicates, one half of the DNA strand turns to RNA, RNA uses amino acids to make protein

• The flow of genetic information in cells

• All of the above

What does tRNA do?

• provides information from DNA to ribosomes

• transfers amino acids to the ribosomes

• makes up ribosomes

• builds proteins

The synthesis of a protein from the information carried by  mRNA molecules.

• Transformation
