Genetics and the Molecular Basis of Heredity · Genetics & Heredity

Protein Synthesis and Gene Expression

Tracing the flow of information from DNA to RNA to functional proteins within a cell.

Key Questions

  1. 1How can a single gene code for multiple different proteins in complex eukaryotes?
  2. 2In what ways does the environment influence which genes are turned on or off?
  3. 3How do mutations in the DNA sequence translate into changes in protein function?
