What is DNA and How Does it Work?

Support Stated Clearly on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/statedclearly Issues of genetics and DNA are constantly cropping up in the news from food production and health, to legal cases and ethics. We hear about DNA in movies like Jurassic Park and X-men, we learn bits and pieces about it from TV shows like Dexter and and CSI, but what exactly is DNA, and how does it work? This animated short film has been made for those wanting a simple introduction (or even a refresher) on how DNA creates a living creature. In this video you will learn a bit about genetic code, DNA transcription and translation, and the importance of proteins in the chemistry of life. Video was written, presented, and animated by Jon Perry Music by Anthony Danzl (check out his website at http://www.proofavenue.com ) Research and instructional design by Varinia Acosta You can learn more about DNA and Stated Clearly on our website at http://www.StatedClearly.com Portuguese captions by Marcos André
