PART 1

Mendel’s Principles and Contribution to Modern Biology (200 words max)

Mendel used mathematics and experimentation to derive major principles that have helped us understand inheritance. His ideas were totally different than the explanation for passage of characteristics from parents to offspring that was common to his time. Discuss at least two of his principles in detail, providing examples. Describe how each principle contributes to genetic variability. Discuss the significance of Mendel’s discoveries to modern biology.

PART 2

Our understanding of genetic inheritance and the function of DNA in producing the characteristics of the individual have been developing for more than 150 years.

· Consider our current state of knowledge.

· Link genetic characteristics to DNA structure.

· Describe the steps in the process of protein synthesis.

· Explain how DNA through the process of protein synthesis is responsible for the ultimate expression of the characteristics in the organism.

· Describe how interference in protein synthesis can result in disruption of cellular and bodily processes?

One important class of proteins are enzymes, which control countless processes within our bodies. Considering that the building blocks of proteins are amino acids, explain how poor nutrition can disrupt many important functions in our bodies. 

(800 WORDS MAX) include references.
