Relationship between Genotype and Phenotype
Molecular Basis for Relationship between Genotype and Phenotype genotype DNA DNA sequence transcription RNA translation amino acid sequence protein function phenotype organism
2
Point Mutations on Gene Products
3
Mutation frequencies obtained with various mutagens in Neurospora
Mutagens are agents that cause mutations. Anything that is capable of causing chemical changes in the structure of DNA (especially bases) is a mutagen. Mutagens differ in mutagenicity.

The Ames Test Reveals Mutagenic Compounds
Strain 1 - frameshift mutation Strain 2 - base substitution
