These are the information molecules. DNA stores the genetic blueprint, while RNA acts as a messenger and a structural component of ribosomes. They are composed of , which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Carbohydrates
Every trait you have — your eye color, your ability to digest lactose, your risk for certain cancers — is ultimately the result of this molecular flow of information. Fundamentals of Biochemistry
A specific gene on the DNA is copied into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. RNA polymerase binds to a promoter region, unwinds the DNA, and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand (using Uracil instead of Thymine). These are the information molecules
