Advanced Genetics

Activation or deactivation of genes by environmental experiences throughout development

• turn on genes
• gene expression
• environmental factors
• gene markers

process by which information encoded in a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, such as a protein, which results in the phenotypic manifestation of the gene.

• gene expression

• genetics

• genotype

• phenotype
