• DNA


  Double helix molecule that contains genetic information
• Protein synthesis


  1. DNA is transcribed into RNA

  2. RNA is translated into protein
• Genetic modification


  Inserting genes from one organism into another
• Applications of genetic modification

  • Increased disease resistance in crops
  • Increased yield in crops
  • Identifying genes associated with diseases
• Types of inheritance


  • Single gene
  • Multiple gene
