1 Central Dogma

  • The central dogma says that protein instructions are found in DNA
    • RNA carries these instructions somewhere which manufactures proteins
    • Parts of DNA are transcribed into RNA
  • In short DNA – > RNA – > Protein
    • This is done because moving DNA doesn't make sense as it's the master copy
    • RNA is moved to the place that the protein can be made from the instructions
  • This is done through transcription and translation
  • DNA and RNA are very close aside from Uracil and Thymine
    • Both of the codes are formed by patterns of charges
