Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason that genetics was a black box before the central dogma of molecular biology was understood.

Introduction:

The flow of information is shown by the central dogma of molecular biology that is given as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is transcribed into mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) by the process of transcription and mRNA is translated into proteins by the process of translation. But before central dogma, many experiments were performed that proved the hereditary material is DNA that contains heritable traits in the forms of genes.
