- 1What is a gene?A section of DNA that codes for different polypeptides
- 2What do genes determine?The nature and development of all organisms.
- 3A gene is a..sequence of amino acids
- 4If the sequence of an amino acid alters, what happens consequently to the rest of the cell?sequence of AA's alter, polypeptides alter and therefore the proteins made (or not made) alter, different enzymes and so may not be able to carry out thei function efficiently/at all
