DNA is a double helix DNA is very stable; the data is backed up.

DNA RNA protein: information flow Transcription: A messenger RNA (mRNA)copy of the gene is made RNA has ribose instead of deoxyribose, has uracil instead of thymine, and is single stranded.
DNA RNA protein: information flow Translation: The messenger RNA copy of the gene is “cranked” through a ribosome. The codonsof the mRNA are read as a template to make a protein.
Translation by Codon • The linear DNA code is read in sets of 3 bases, called codons. • AUG is the start codon. • UAA, UAG and UGA are “stop” codons. • The code is redundant; more than one codon encodes the same protein.
