What this topic covers

The control of gene expression (A-level only) has 4 subtopics:

• Alteration of the sequence of bases in DNA can alter the structure of proteins (A-level only)
• Gene expression is controlled by a number of features (A-level only)
• Using genome projects (A-level only)
• Gene technologies allow the study and alteration of gene function allowing a better understanding of organism function and the design of new...
