Question
Chapter 19, Problem 9CONQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the effect of mutations on the sequences flanking genes lead to any change in gene expression or not.
Introduction:
Genes are sequences that are present in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that code for a protein which, serves a particular function in the cell. All genes have sequences flanking them that are responsible for regulating their expression, such as promoters, operators and enhancers.
