The video tutorial by the Amoeba Sisters explores how DNA codes for traits through protein synthesis. It explains the processes of transcription and translation, where DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus, and then translated into proteins in the ribosome. The video highlights the importance of codons, which are triplets of bases, and how mutations can affect protein synthesis. It encourages interactive learning through resources like the PBS DNA Workshop.
