Both are in the same language, just written differently. So I always think of DNA-> RNA as transcribing something from like print to cursive. So when I think of transcription, I think of old-school scribes (you know, the people who take writings and make it look super nice and stuff). The one common thing between these two is they are both written in nucleotides. Let's start with transcription, we're working from DNA to RNA. Here's the way I've always used to remember the differences between transcription and translation. I think that's a good analogy! I mean analogies are very personal. 4:15 DNA makes RNA, which makes protein.4:12 Just remember the simple statement that.4:07 these terms straight a little bit.3:57 and going to another kind of language,.3:15 whereas the other one is talking about.

3:03 It's making the same copy of itself.3:00 because DNA is just replicating itself.2:58 a copy of itself, it's called replication.2:56 When you go from DNA, and DNA makes.2:54 For DNA, I think it's pretty easy.2:22 for the synthesis of the next polymer.2:15 preserved from DNA to RNA to protein.2:07 This means that the specific sequence.2:03 all connected in a linear polymer.2:01 or a protein, which are just amino acids.1:58 for RNA if it's a ribonucleic acid,.1:46 They are connected in a series like this,.1:19 in a process called 'transcription.'.1:02 and proteins are made up of amino acids.0:54 So we have three major players here.0:48 And I think this simple explanation.0:42 in Physiology and Medicine, once said,.0:34 which they say deals with the detailed.

0:31 are credited with discovering this dogma,.

0:11 how you and I take this conglomeration.

0:06 Well, really it could just be called.
