Mutations can also influence the phenotype of an organism. This tutorial looks at the effects of chromosomal mutations, such as nondisjunction, deletion, and duplication. ..
Genes are expressed through the process of protein synthesis. This elaborate tutorial provides an in-depth review of the different steps of the biological production of protein starting from the gene up to the process of secretion. Also included are topics on DNA replication during interphase of the cell cycle, DNA mutation and repair mechanisms, gene pool, modification, and diseases...
