So, how does a gene mutation make a non-functional protein? Well, that's one of the big questions, really. I'm going to simplify it to four major types of failure, although as this is biology, things aren't actually all that clear cut ( Read more... )

OK. Here's the big thing that I still remember the light-dawning moment I was told it for the first time ( Read more... )

Inheritance, and dominant and recessive genes ( Read more... )

So, how does the body know when to express a gene anyway ( Read more... )

Protein Folding - this one's a bit long ( Read more... )

So, what's a protein? I've run out of excuses to skirt around this one, so ( Read more... )

So. we have a genome. We can store it, and we can copy it. But how do we make everything else out of it ( Read more... )
