Gene expression is regulated throughout the lifespan of an individual cell to control the cell’s functions, such as its metabolic activity. Gene ...

Mendel`s Theory

When gametes unite during fertilization, each gamete contributes one allele. Parents can only contribute one allele because of the ...
