That is some packaging!

WHY WASTE IT? Why spend energy making a large RNA and then throw parts away? May allow same gene to be used in different ways in different kinds of cells. May have a role in evolution… allows small changes in genes to have a big effect.

Mendel/flower images from: http: //www. emc. maricopa. edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/Bio. Book. TOC. html Blood cell by Riedell GENES & PROTEINS Proteins are the connection between the gene code in the DNA and how that gene is expressed. A gene that codes for an enzyme (protein) to make a pigment can control the color of a flower. A gene that codes for an enzyme (protein) adds carbohydrates to glycoproteins to produce your blood type. Enzymes catalyze and regulate chemical reactions so proteins build and operate all cell components.
