1. One of the central themes in biology is how DNA, RNA, and proteins are related. Describe how genetic

information is passed among those types of molecules. Include the results of the processes of

transcription and translation

Transcription uses a strand of DNA as a template to build a molecule called RNA. The RNA molecule is the link between DNA and the production of proteins. During translation, the RNA molecule created in the transcription process delivers information from the DNA to the protein building machines.
