Dna ReplicationDNA is a molecule that has a repeating chain of identical five-carbon sugars (polymers) linked together from head to tail. It is composed of four ring shaped organic bases (nucleotides) which are Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). It has a double helix shape and contains the ...

Genetic DeterminismWhat role do genes play in how organisms develop? To answer this question we must distinguish the genotype from the phenotype. Genetic determinism means that the genotype completely determines the phenotype, that is, the genes completely determine how an organism turns out. Basically genetic ...
