The Central Dogma: Transcription and Translation

Mr. Anderson introduces the concept of the central dogma, explaining how DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA and then translated into proteins. He details the structure of DNA, the transcription process, and how proteins are synthesized, ultimately linking these processes to traits like hair color. The video provides a comprehensive overview of the central dogma in biology.

How does messenger RNA differ from DNA in terms of structure?

What is the significance of the 5 prime cap and the poly-A tail in messenger RNA?
