Amino acids, polymers, proteins

We're not really going to talk about the details of genetic reproduction in this class.

Suffice it to say that when it comes time for a cell to reproduce, the DNA unravels and a copy is made onto RNA. This RNA will then later write the DNA into the new cell.

This is also how proteins are made.
