DNA & protein synthesis Chapter 9 Our good looks! DNA & protein synthesis Chapter 9
The beauty of DNA Remember: DNA is a macromolecule that stores information what IS that information?
What is a gene? alleles ex
Not all DNA codes for protein
How does our DNA determine the way we look? (genotype) (phenotype)
