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

1.2. The importance of the nucleus in inheritance was implied by its prominence in fer-
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
tilization. The discovery of chromosomes inside the nucleus, their behavior during cell
v v v v v v v v v v v v
division, and the observation that each species has a characteristic chromosome
v v v v v v v v v v v
number made it likely that chromosomes were the carriers of the genes. Micro- scopic
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
studies showed that DNA and proteins are both present in chromosomes, but
v v v v v v v v v v v v
whereas nearly all cells of a given species contain a constant amount of DNA, the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
amount and kinds of proteins differ greatly in different cell types.
