every triple in the RNA defines what amino acid goes next in the protein
every amino acid maps to a sequence of three base pairs in the RNA
amino acids can chain together
amino acids are the building blocks of proteins
about half of the amino acids cannot be constructed and must be consumed through food
a protein is a chain of amino acids
mRNA through translation makes a protein
mRNA represents a particular gene
Each half of the DNA ladder can be reproduced from the other half. They are a mirror image of one another.
Central dogma of molecular biology
DNA tells you how to make RNA which tells you how to make Proteins.
