We compare DNA to an encyplopedia (DNA = ) that may not leave the public library. 1. How do you get the information out of the library? 2. Accordingly, what needs to happen for using genetic information in the cytoplasm?
Making a protein is like reading a library book. DNA Home- work Library Nucleus NeighborhoodCell Home Cytoplasm ? ? New Protein
Using the information encoded in the DNA: = “Protein Synthesis” = “Gene Expression” Producing Proteins!
