Central Dogma The central dogma is the main thesis of molecular inheritance. In its simplest form, it states that DNA makes RNA, which makes protein; it is the pedagogical tenet that translation of a protein invariably follows a chain of molecular command, where DNA acts as the template for both its own replication and for the transcription to RNA—and, with subsequent maturation, to mRNA, which then serves as a template for translation into a protein
