What is central dogma?(3 votes)- Central dogma is the term used to encompass the core understanding that DNA --- transcribes to ---> RNA ----- which is translated to -----> proteins(3 votes)
- Simplify different tasks of DNA verses rna(2 votes)
- Can Protein be synthesised without RNA?(2 votes)
- Well to make amino acids you need codons which the RNA contains. Also, protein synthesis is the translation of the mRNA, so I would say no. But correct me if I'm wrong please.(1 vote)
