### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Central Dogma**: - The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA (specifically mRNA) and then to proteins. This process involves two main stages: transcription and translation. 2. **Transcription Process**: - During transcription, the DNA sequence is transcribed to form mRNA. This mRNA carries the genetic information necessary for protein synthesis. ...
