What are the simplest answers and definitions to these questions?  Describe the general structures and functions of DNA, RNA, and protein.  Show how base?pairing rules explain accurate copying of DNA during                                                semi?conservative replication   Show how base?pairing rules explain transcription of information from DNA into mRNA.  The general pathway by which ribosomes make proteins, using tRNA’s to translate genetic information in mRNA.    Show how the genetic coding rules predict the sequence (order) of amino acids from a sequence of codons in mRNA.    Explain how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may or may not affect the gene expression, or the sequence of amino acids in an encoded protein.  Specialization of cells in multicellular organisms is usually due to different patterns of gene expression rather than to diffrences of the gene themselves.    Proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino acids.  How genetic engineering (biotechnology) is used to produce new biomedical and agricultural products.
