what is the central dogma of life?
Answers
The central dogma of life describes the formation of genetic material that is the formation of DNA which is the origin of life .
↪ The DNA molecules is a self reproducing molecule and is also called the macromolecule .
↪ DNA is the basic molecule which stores genetic information in human beings .
↪ The genetic material is later transferred to the next generation .
↪ DNA consists of nucleotides which are further made up of pentose sugar , nitrogeneous base and hydrogen bond .
↪ A chromosome is a self reproducing molecule which helps in the passing of genetic material from cell to cell .
↪ The chromosome is entirely made of DNA .
DNA and RNA
DNA and RNA are the central dogma of life.
DNA makes RNA, and RNA builds protein in our body. Proteins of our body are made by RNA. This process starts from DNA.
DNA makes RNA with the help of Oxygen and RNA starts to make protein. Proteins are very important structure of Human body.
In this process of making RNA, There are 3 important processes and they are as follows:
1) Transcription
2) Translation
3) Replication
DNA stands for => Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid
RNA stands for => Ribo Nucleic Acid.
Additional information:
- DNA makes RNA and the RNA builds protein in our body.
- formation of new DNA from old DNA is called as DNA REPLICATION.
- Central dogma of life was first stated by Francis Crick in 1957
