| Definition |
The principal statement of the molecular basis of inheritance. In its simplest form: "DNA makes RNA makes protein." This means that (generally) genetic information is stored in and transmitted as DNA. Genes are expressed by being copied as RNA (transcription), which is processed into mRNA via splicing and polyadenylation. The information in mRNA is translated into a protein sequence using a genetic code to interpret three-base codons as instructions to add one of twenty amino acids or to stop translation. |
