Genetic Blueprints and Information Flow · Genetics & Heredity

Gene Expression: Transcription and Translation

Tracing the flow of information from the nucleus to the ribosome to build polypeptides.

Key Questions

  1. 1How can a single gene code for multiple different proteins in complex eukaryotes?
  2. 2What role does the redundancy of the genetic code play in protecting organisms from mutations?
  3. 3How do various toxins disrupt the process of translation to cause cellular death?
