• DNA contains a code specifying what types of enzymes and other proteins are mad e i

n cells. qa




• DNA occasionally mutates, and the mutant forms specify altered proteins.

• A mutant enzyme is an "inborn error of metabolism" that blocks one step in a bi o-

• Traits are affected by environment as well as by genes.
