The information in DNA is not directly converted into proteins, but must first be copied into RNA. DNA transcription is the process in protein synthesis that involves the transcribing of genetic information from DNA to RNA.
Summary. Genetic information is carried in the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA. Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.Duplication of the genetic information occurs by the use of one DNA strand as a template for formation of a complementary strand. DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits. Each of these chains is known as a DNA chain, or a DNA strand. Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together (Figure 4-3).
