Key Concepts n




• Inherited traits are affected by genes. n n n n n




• Genes are composed of the chemical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
n n n n n n n n




• DNA replicates to form (usually identical) copies of itself.
n n n n n n n n




• DNA contains a code specifying what types of enzymes and other proteins are made in
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




cells.n




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




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




chemical pathway for the metabolism of small molecules.
n n n n n n n n




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




• Organisms change genetically through generations in the process of biological
n n n n n n n n n




evolution.
n




• Because of their comm.on descent, organisms share many features of their genetics
n n n n n n n n n n n




and biochemistry. n




Key Terms n

2. antiparallel

4. transcri tion n




5. ribosome

7. proteome
8. substrate

1.2. The importance of the nucleus in inheritance was implied by its prominence in fer-
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




tilization. The discovery of chromosomes inside the nucleus, their behavior during cell
n n n n n n n n n n n n




division, and the observation that each species has a characteristic chromosome
n n n n n n n n n n n




number made it likely that chromosomes were the carriers of the genes. Micro- scopic
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




studies showed that DNA and proteins are both present in chromosomes, but
n n n n n n n n n n n n




whereas nearly all cells of a given species contain a constant amount of DNA, the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




amount and kinds of proteins differ greatly in different cell types.
