AS90715+Gene+Expression

In the gene expression unit you will look at genetics from three viewpoints. Firstly, a study of the processes at a molecular level will be examined (MOLECULAR GENETICS). Secondly, the mechanisms of heredity will be considered. This will also identify the processes involved in producing individual variation.(MENDELIAN GENETICS) The final section focuses on consequences of changes in the genetic material. (MUTATIONS)
