infoWhy this? DNA stores hereditary information, and protein synthesis explains how that information is used to produce functional molecules. These mechanisms connect genes with characteristics and provide a molecular explanation for inheritance, genetic variation, and many applications of biotechnology.

scheduleWhy now? Building on nucleic acids, enzymes, and cell division, we can explain how genetic information is copied and used. This foundation is needed to understand how mutations affect proteins and how genes are inherited, regulated, and manipulated.
