Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we will study the ways that genetic information is passed between generations and how it is expressed. Cells can make exact copies of themselves through asexual reproduction. The genes such cells carry can be turned off and on to vary the cells’ behaviors, but the basic information they contain can be changed only by mutation, a process that is somewhat rare to begin with and usually kills the cell anyway.
