The requirement of RNA in protein synthesis.

Introduction:

The central dogma theory for molecular biology describes that information flow is unidirectional. It involves two steps where first is transcription that is defined as the process of copying the genetic information from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to RNA (ribonucleic acid). The second step is translation which is defined as the process of translating information from mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) to proteins or polypeptide chains.
