The role of the central dogma is to define the direction in which genetic information flows. It emphasises that genetic information flows from the nucleic acids to proteins and not vice versa.

......@@ -48,6 +48,8 @@ Several factors, called mutagens, exacerbate the rate of mutations:
Most mutations are neutral and have no significant impact on the body, however some mutations do have effects. These may be beneficial – some mutations in bacteria help them develop antibiotic resistance. Some mutations can be extremely harmful, and can cause diseases like cancer or genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease.
Mutations are critical for evolution and are the primary source for genetic variation. These variations allow organisms to adapt in a changing environment. However, mutations are not always beneficial and can lead to various disorders. Understanding mutations is key to advances in medical sciences. There is also work being done to manipulate these mutations.

The process of adding amino acids continues till the complete mRNA is translated (that is, a stop codon is reached). Subsequently, the mRNA and the sequence of amino acids (polypeptide) is released from the ribosome. The polypeptide undergoes folding and/or modification in the cytosol or endoplasmic reticulum, forming a functional protein. After this, the protein can stay in the cytosol (liquid portion of cytoplasm) or can go to any of the cell organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts, etc.
