What the different between the function of amino acids, DNA and RNA?

I know that the DNA is used as genetic information, but i do not know what the meaning of genetic formation? While what is the use of amino acids, is it only in making the protein? Mean while, the RNA is used for what? By the way, what protein is made of and is the amino acids, DNA, and RNA need to work together to do anythings?What the different between the function of amino acids, DNA and RNA?
i can help you by telling watz 'genetic information'

--The information encoded in the genetic material with which all living organisms are endowed. The carrier of this information is a complex structure of dna . It represents an organism's biological inheritance and controls that organism's development , reproduction and self-repair. Within an organism, genetic information flows from dna to protein and other products, first, by the transcription of portions of the dna into so-called messenger rna and, second, by the assembly of individual amino acids into polypeptides, including proteins. Thus the growth of an organism is controlled. The absence of a mechanism that could reverse the direction of this flow from proteins to dna is the basis for the fact that the experiences an organism makes during its life time cannot be inherited by biological means . Changes in the intergenerational communication of genetic information result from mutations and are the target of natural selectionWhat the different between the function of amino acids, DNA and RNA?
Hmmm this is a question that will take allot of explanation..

I've found a shockwave file that will answer most, if not all your questions.

Genetic information: "The heritable biological information coded in the nucleotide sequences of dna or rna (certain viruses), such as in the chromosomes or in plasmids."



Other uses of amino acids:

"Amino acids are also important in many other biological molecules, such as forming parts of coenzymes, as in S-adenosylmethionine, or as precursors for the biosynthesis of molecules such as heme"



DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is used (translated) to make proteins. Proteins are most often made up of amino acids, and may contain other molecules that aid in its function.What the different between the function of amino acids, DNA and RNA?
Simply:

DNA: contains all genetic information. Has all of what the cell needs to survive. Is used kinda as a reference library.



RNA: takes information from DNA (called transcription), codes them into amino acids (called translation), and polypeptides form as a result. The joining of a few polypeptides makes a protein. A protein does whatever it needs to for the cell.



Amino Acids: make proteins. RNA translates the codons into anticodons which call a specific amino acid.



Basically here is the above summarized:

DNA=%26gt;RNA=%26gt;Amino Acids=%26gt;Polypeptides=%26gt;Proteins



That's it!
DNA: A molecule that is made up of units called nucleotides. the differences in these units account for the individual differences between us. There are three types of RNA. One type, i.e. messenger RNA 'reads' the arrangement and type of nucleotides present on the DNA, and transfers this information out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Here, based on this info, amino acids are permuted in a unique manner to make a unique kind of protein. This protein can now be used to make fibres (like hair), collagen, enzymes, hormones etc.

this was a very basic general idea of what really happens. hope this helps.
