Summary Introduction
To review:
A geneticist is attempting to isolate mutations in the genes for four enzymes acting in a
Introduction:
Enzymes are the proteins coded by genes (sequence of nucleotides) present in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). Different genes code for different enzymes in the cell. The enzyme binds to a substrate and subsequently forms a product. Gene is a sequence of nucleotides and if there is any change (mutation) in the
