Summary Introduction

To determine:

An overview on the main aspects of the flow of genetic information in cells.

Introduction:

The DNA molecule(s) in the cells are packed with information in the form of codes made by their nitrogen base sequence. This molecule is only an information carrier, and cannot perform any cellular functions directly.
