The flow
of genetic information includes the transcription
of gene into a mRNA molecule that undergoes translation
to form proteins. |
| l |
If a
gene from one organism is transferred to another
organism, it will encode its protein product
at the new destination also. |
| l |
An alteration
in the gene will result a change in the encoded
protein. This is the basis of differences amongst
different individuals. |
| l |
Some
alterations may lead to the formation of aberrant
proteins, or no protein at all, leading to different
genetic diseases. |
