Now that you have explored how genes and chromosomes work, looked at inheritance patterns, and understand how the expression of genes can affect an organism, it is time to take a step back and look at the molecule of heredity, the DNA molecule. In this Module, you will have the chance to look closely at how structure of a DNA molecule relates to function of the molecule, and the process of going from a DNA sequence to production of proteins in a cell. You will also get the chance to extract DNA right in your own kitchen!
