Chapter 10, Problem 5SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Genes are the fundamental unit of heredity which is composed of DNA. Each gene specifies a particular protein. For this, the genes will be converted into a useful product through the process of gene expression. Gene expression involves the conversion of DNA into RNA through the process of transcription and this RNA will be converted into proteins through the process of translation.
