What is the central dogma of gene expression?
The linear flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein
2
New cards
Why is the central dogma an oversimplification?
There is an RNA world where RNA has intrinsic properties that DNA does not possess
3
New cards
What intrinsic properties does RNA have that DNA lacks?
Catalytic properties and storage properties
4
New cards
Which modern process still reflects RNA’s catalytic properties?
Translation
5
New cards
