Write a point form essay outline for the following prompt:
The central dogma of molecular biology is that DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is translated into protein. As such, when we think of DNA, we often picture transcriptionally active euchromatin. However, approx. 10% of interphase DNA in eukaryotes is organized as transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin. Explain the importance of heterochromatin.
