Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1FTB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) from the instructions in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is called __________________. Synthesis of a protein from the instructions in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is called __________________.”
Introduction:
The central dogma takes place in each and every cell of the body. It was described by Watson and Crick. There are three processes that take place in the cell. These are replication, transcription, and translation.
