2. DNA is like a library of ideas with endless permutations to express them.
The types of genes, or “ideas” being used
determine unique functions and traits.
6. Proteins:
A Work of Molecular Art
• Ideas seen through to
fruition
• Product of gene

• Our Final Drafts Are:
• Refined
• Revised
• Complete

Selects gene to express
DNA is composed of many genes capable of
becoming all of the proteins necessary for life
Through a series of steps our bodies synthesize
proteins, the functional units of life
Contains all genes possible of expressing
INTRODUCTIONDNA is a like library teeming with information just waiting to be put to useUnlocking the information in our DNA allows protein production to beginSpecific location for desired information Our Research:Looks DeeperReaches furtherGets resultsOur bodies work to identify the specific location of desired information in order to create the desired proteinThe process of gene expression, and thus protein formation, begins with the genetic code and the macromolecule deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA for short.Once the correct site of information is identified; Gene expression can continueDNA is Transcribed into RNA
POLISHING, EDITING, REVIEW (NICK? CONNOR?)In our bodies and the bodies of all living organisms, proteins allow for countless cellular processes to take place.Without them, life as we know it would not existProteins are the products of gene expression. A process with many self correcting steps and checkpoints to assure a complete and functional finished productWe
