Mo4-L3b: How DNA Changes Affect Traits?
SUMMARY Let’s Begin
What is DNA?
DNA is a complex molecule that contains the Making Proteins
code for an organism’s genetic material. The process of making a protein from RNA is called
translation.
RNA carries the codes for making proteins.
Mo4-L3b How DNA Changes Affect Traits?
KEY CONCEPTS:

affect traits?
Vocabulary A-Z
Let us learn some vocabulary Mutations
A change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene is
translation called a mutation.
