The document discusses the process by which genes are transcribed into mRNA and then translated into proteins. It explains that DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated on ribosomes into proteins based on the genetic code of triplets in the mRNA that encode for specific amino acids. The central dogma of molecular biology is described as DNA -> RNA -> Protein. Key roles of different RNA molecules like mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA in the translation process are also highlighted.
