The Central Dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. This category focuses on the mechanisms of transcription and translation, which are fundamental to gene expression and cellular function. It is suitable for Class 11–12 students, NEET aspirants, and undergraduate learners.
In this section, you will study:
Concept of the central dogma of molecular biology
Structure and types of RNA
Transcription process in prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Genetic code and its properties
Translation process and role of ribosomes, tRNA, and mRNA
Post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications
Regulation of gene expression at transcriptional and translational levels
NCERT-based explanations, diagrams, MCQs, and exam-oriented questions
The content is structured to build strong conceptual understanding, improve process-based and sequence-oriented reasoning, and help students perform confidently in school examinations, NEET, and undergraduate assessments.
Develop a clear understanding of how genetic information is expressed as functional proteins through transcription and translation.
Q. During transcription, which enzyme is responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template?
A.
DNA polymerase
B.
RNA polymerase
C.
Ribosome
D.
Ligase
Solution
RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA by transcribing the DNA template during the process of transcription.
