Biology Genius - The Central Dogma lyrics

There are three cla**es of sequential biopolymers that encode information: DNA, RNA, and protein. The central dogma of microbiology describes the ways in which information flows among these three cla**es: DNA replication (DNA to DNA), transcription (DNA to RNA), and translation (RNA to protein). The transfer of information is faithful and deterministic: the sequence of one polymer is the template for the creation of the next. DNA Replication Semi-conservative, as in, the newly formed strands contain neucletides complimentary to the existing ones. Occurs only in the presence of two enzymes - helicase and polymerase. Occurs during the 'S' phase of Interphase. Transcription A DNA strand molecule splits by the help of RNA polymerase enzyme and allows the pa**age of m-RNA. Nucleotides complimentary to the DNA are formed on the RNA, but with the presence of Uracil, instead of Thymine. The complimentary formed m-RNA can be chopped and/or modified before it leaves the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is destined for translation. Translation The goal of translation is protein synthesis. Each amino-acid is coded by three nitrogenous bases. A t-RNA characterized by an anti-codon picks an amino-acid and carries it to the ribosomes. The ribosome moves along the m-RNA until every codon is coded. The ribosomes leave a trail of amino-acids that form a chain creating the proteins.
