We compare DNA to an encyplopedia (DNA = ) that may not leave the public library. • How do you get the information out of the library? • Accordingly, what needs to happen for using genetic information in the cytoplasm?

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.
