1.3 Nucleic acids and the flow of genetic information The ‘flow’ of information from an organism's genome to the synthesis of its encoded proteins is referred to as the central dogma and emphasises the crucial roles that nucleic acids play within the cell (Figure 2). The synthesis of proteins (translation) is directed by the base order in mRNA, copied directly from that in the DNA of the genes by transcription. Translation involves RNAs in the form of the ribosome and tRNAs. In this unit we will be focusing on the relationship between
