    • The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology:

    • DNA directs RNA synthesis and RNA directs protein synthesis

    Transcription:

    • The DNA-directed synthesis of an RNA molecule

    Translation:

    • The RNA- directed synthesis of a protein

    Why is the RNA intermediate needed?

    • DNA can stay in the protected environment of the nucleus
    • Gene expression can be amplified
    • The RNA copies can be altered in different ways
    • Gene expression can be further regulated
