Summary Introduction

To describe:’

The ways in which information flow from DNA to RNA to protein synthesis to protein function can be regulated.

Introduction:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary molecule of all the living and non-living cells. It is made up of the polynucleotide chain carrying the genetic information or “gene”. The nucleic acids present in the DNA are; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and, thymidine (T). DNA with the help of various enzymes forms RNA with the help of process, called transcription. Similarly, RNA is also a hereditary molecule in some viruses and other organisms. It may be single or double stranded. RNA (ribonucleic acid) is also assembled as a chain of nucleotides. The nucleotides are made up of a ribose sugar attached to a nucleic acid base. The nucleic acids present in RNA are; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and, uracil (U). RNA makes protein by a process called translation.
