DNA
- Life science
- Molecular biology
DNA carries the genetic instructions needed for the growth, development and functioning of all living organisms. You must understand the structure of DNA to grasp how genetic information is passed down and used in biological processes. This is crucial in fields like medicine, where it aids in developing treatments and...
Macromolecules
- Life science
- Molecular biology
Macromolecules play key roles in the structure and function of cells. Understanding macromolecules helps us learn how organisms grow, develop, and maintain their systems. Beyond the body, they are used in medical treatments, nutrition and biotechnology. Use this resource to learn about the types of macromolecules. Macromolecules are large, complex...
Protein synthesis
- Life science
- Molecular biology
The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic material within a biological system. This process is fundamental to understanding how proteins are made using genetic instructions in DNA. Understanding protein synthesis is key to developing therapies in medicine, enhancing crop yields in agriculture and creating new biotechnologies....
