MP3 Topic: DNA to RNA to Protein (The Central Dogma) Estimate Time: 10:15 Vocabulary: amino acid, codon, deoxyribonucleic acid, exon, genome, intron, nucleic acid, ribosomes Hey there and welcome to another MP3 Tutor session. This is Eric Simon and I?ll guide you through today?s topic: the flow of biological information from DNA to RNA to proteins. This topic is arguably one of the most important in all of biology. In fact, Francis Crick, one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, referred to this idea as the ?Central Dogma? of biology, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the importance of understanding how genetic information is transmitted. Of course, when biologists use the term ?dogma,? we do not use it in the religious sense of an unchanging truth. Instead, we
