Answer

The "central dogma of molecular biology" is described by Francis Crick to represent the process of gene expression. This occurs in two main steps: transcription, where DNA in a cell is copied into complementary mRNA sequences, and translation, where the new RNA sequence is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence in a polypeptide chain.
