Central Dogma of Molecular Biology: Information Flows in One Direction: DNA RNA Proteins. Transcription (Nucleus) Translation (Cytoplasm)
Transcription: A modified copy of the DNA A. Keeping the DNA ‘encyclopedia’ safe in the nucleus. B. Copying only the necessary information (‘pages’). C. Only when the information is required.
The Transcript: RNA Compare Transcription to replication.. Transcription Translation Lewport RNA Transcription - from promoter to terminator RNA Transcription - from promoter to terminator
