Description
How is genetic information stored in cells, and how is the information accessed and used? On this album, Dr Norman Cohen of The Open University uses models and graphics to provide easily understood explanations of how genetic information is stored in DNA, how DNA is replicated, and how genetic information from DNA is used to create new protein molecules. The album draws on material originally created to support The Open University course Exploring science.

Very basic
The description states that this is for a course on introduction to science and if that is the reason you want then it is ok. However, if you are looking for a university level course on the biochemistry of DNA, and the various processes such as replication, transcription and translation, then this is not detailed enough.
21 minutes of material?
this is some kind of joke, is it?
Ms
Excellent resource helped me with a level biology:)
