briefly describe the process of genes
Gene expression is the process by which the instructions in our DNA are converted into a functional product, such as a protein.
- When the information stored in our DNA is converted into instructions for making proteins? or other molecules, it is called gene expression?.
- Gene expression is a tightly regulated process that allows a cell to respond to its changing environment.
- It acts as both an on/off switch to control when proteins are made and also a volume control that increases or decreases the amount of proteins made.
- There are two key steps involved in making a protein, transcription and translation.
