Chapter 4.2, Problem 1AYLO

Summary Introduction

To discuss:

Gene and how gene relate to the amino acid sequence of proteins; why not every gene codes for protein synthesis; why not every protein is encoded by its own unique gene.

Introduction:

DNA is a genetic material, consisting long stretch of nucleotide sequence with 2 m length. It carries the genetic information from one generation to another. DNA replication is the first step in the central dogma of biology followed by transcription and translation. In replication, two identical copies of DNA sequences produced from the single DNA sequence. Synthesis of mRNA from DNA is known as transcription, followed by translation, in which protein is synthesized from the mRNA sequence.
