Before you read this, I suggest you read post 21.23. In post 21.23 we met the idea that the sequence of bases in mRNA determined the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The question then is – what sequence of bases will code a given amino acid sequence? We shall see that the experiments… Continue reading 21.24 The genetic code

In post 21.11, we saw that genes are made of DNA and that genetic information is code in the sequence of its bases; more details on the importance of this base sequence were given in post 21.12. But this raises a fundamental question. How does a DNA sequence determine who we are? How does my… Continue reading 21.23 Implementing genetic information
