A central dogma of biology provides an explanation as to how gene expression occurs. The central dogma is the main thesis of molecular inheritance. It states that DNA makes RNA‚ which makes protein. Genes control the traits by controlling which proteins are made. The process of Central Dogma of Molecular Biology is when DNA transcripts into

The Central Dogma. This hypothesis was described by Crick in 1958. In 1953‚ Watson and Crick were the first to determine the true crystalline structure of DNA‚ using model building and then X-ray crystallography. Once the DNA structure was determined‚ the mechanisms behind inheritance‚ information flow‚ and gene function fell into place. Overall the flow of information is depicted as: DNA --> RNA --> protein. Both DNA and RNA can be replicated (i.e. DNA is synthesized from DNA‚ and RNA from RNA)

Introduction Culture is a broad term which has been described by various philosophers since decades. It has been claimed by Raymond Williams to be “…one of the two or three most complicated words in English language” (Williams‚ 1976).
