Key Concepts qa
• Inherited traits are affected by genes. qa qa q a qa qa
• Genes are composed of the chemical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
q a q a q a q a q a q a q a q a
• DNA replicates to form (usually identical) copies of itself.
qa q a q a q a q a q a q a qa
• DNA contains a code specifying what types of enzymes and other proteins are mad e i
qa qa qa qa qa WQ qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa
n cells. qa
• DNA occasionally mutates, and the mutant forms specify altered proteins.
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa
• A mutant enzyme is an "inborn error of metabolism" that blocks one step in a bi o-
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa WQ qa qa qa qa qa qa
chemical pathway for the metabolism of small molecules.
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa
• Traits are affected by environment as well as by genes.
qa qa qa qa WQ qa qa qa qa
• Organisms change genetically through generations in the process of biologica l e
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa
volution.
• Because of their comm.on descent, organisms share many features of their genetics

cell division, and the observation that each species has a characteristic chromos ome
