Chapter 15.1, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction

To differentiate: Transcription and translation.

Introduction: To convert genotype to phenotype, the conversion of information saved in the DNA to proteins is required. The central dogma describes the flow of information is one direction (DNA to RNA, and RNA to proteins). The DNA strand is composed of pyrimidines (cytosine, C, or thymine, T) and purines (guanine, G, or adenine, A). Thymine pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds and form the A-T base-pair. Cytosine pair with guanine through three hydrogen bonds and form the G-C base-pair.  In the RNA sequence, one of the pyrimidines called thymine is replaced by uracil, U.
