Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a monosaccharide and a polysaccharide?

A monosaccharide is a single sugar molecule, while a polysaccharide is a chain of multiple sugar molecules linked together.

What is the central dogma of molecular biology?

The central dogma states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins, and not in the reverse direction.
