H.B.4B In order for
information stored in
DNA to direct cellular
processes, a gene
needs to be
transcribed from
DNA to RNA and then
must be translated by
the cellular
machinery into a
protein or an RNA
molecule. The
protein and RNA
products from these
processes determine
cellular activities and
the unique
characteristics of an
individual. Modern
techniques in
biotechnology can
manipulate DNA to
solve human
problems.

H.B.4C Sex cells are
formed by a process
of cell division in
which the number of
chromosomes per
cell is halved after
replication. With the
exception of sex
chromosomes, for
each chromosome in
the body cells of a
multicellular
organism, there is a
second similar, but
not identical,
chromosome.
Although these pairs
of similar
chromosomes can
carry the same genes,
they may have
slightly different
alleles. During
meiosis the pairs of
similar chromosomes
may cross and trade
pieces. One
chromosome from
each pair is randomly
passed on to form sex
cells resulting in a
multitude of possible
genetic
combinations. The
