What is DNA and how does it relate to genes and chromosomes? How is DNA extracted in the genetic engineering process? You will learn how to: Visualize the relationship between DNA, genes, and chromosomes. Compare the roles that DNA and proteins play in a cell. Explain how proteins are made from DNA (the processes of transcription and translation) Contrast DNA and proteins in their chemical make up. Explain why DNA extraction is important in genetic engineering and how it is done. Understand why genes can be transferred between organisms and still work.
