Genetic Control
Role of Genes
Essential proteins (for enzymes and structure) are synthesised according to the base sequence
encoded in the cell’s DNA. A particular segment of DNA called a gene codes for each
protein. Thus the structure and function of cell is determined and controlled by its genes.
All undifferentiated cells have the genetic machinery to specialise into any of the body cells.

Two Categories of Genes:
1) Switched on all the time
This group of genes in all cells code for Vital Metabolites necessary for the biochemical
processes basic to life.
e.g. switched on genes to code for enzymes for respiration.
2) Switched on only in a particular cell
This group are only switched on in particular cells where they code for proteins characteristic
of that cell type and no other.
