When DNA is transmitted from parents to children, it can determine some of the children's characteristics.]]> 2023-01-05 18:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/szhe489/78jxw3vy3w49ud9s/wish/2435003004 #2 What are genes? szhe489 https://padlet.com/szhe489/78jxw3vy3w49ud9s/wish/2435003005 Genes make proteins. A gene is a specific stretch of nucleotides within a chromosome’s DNA.The DNA sequence of of gene specifies a particular protein through transcription and translation. Genes are functional units in DNA. Each gene provides instructions for a functional product, which is a molecule that performs a job in the cell(usually a protein). Genes provide instructions specify polypeptides (proteins and protein subunits) or functional RNAs (such as tRNAs and rRNAs).The DNA sequence of a gene specifies a particular protein through transcription and translation.]]> 2023-01-05 18:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/szhe489/78jxw3vy3w49ud9s/wish/2435003005 #3 What role do proteins have in this process? szhe489 https://padlet.com/szhe489/78jxw3vy3w49ud9s/wish/2435003006 The role proteins have in this process is to express a trait. Proteins are made up of amino acids and are the functional products in a cell.
  • Information from a gene is used to build a functional product in a process called gene expression.

Proteins are built through instructions in genes. There are many different genes that have different instructions, so this affects an organism’s traits because different proteins are made. The order of nucleotides in a gene determines the order of amino acids in one or more proteins. These proteins have functions that affect the organism's traits.]]> 2023-01-05 18:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/szhe489/78jxw3vy3w49ud9s/wish/2435003009 # 7 What is Central Dogma? szhe489 https://padlet.com/szhe489/78jxw3vy3w49ud9s/wish/2435003011 Central Dogma is the expression of a protein-coding gene, information flows from DNA

 protein. This directional flow of information is known as the central dogma of molecular biology. 
Protein-coding genes are expressed through translation and transcription.
