Nucleic Acids Central Dogma: Information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. Central Dogma: Information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. DNA encodes the information to make proteins within the sequence of its nucleotides. DNA encodes the information to make proteins within the sequence of its nucleotides. GENES are areas on the DNA molecule that code for specific proteins (polypeptide chains) GENES are areas on the DNA molecule that code for specific proteins (polypeptide chains)
