Regulation of Transcription and Translation

Recap protein synthesis, which involves two processes: transcription and translation.
Explain the term epigenetics, referring to changes in gene expression without altering the original DNA sequence.
Provide examples of epigenetic processes: histone modification and DNA methylation.
Discuss how epigenetic control is regulated and influenced by factors like genes, environment and conditions in utero.
Explore the impact of epigenetic control, ensuring a link to protein synthesis and protein function.
Analyze the relationship between epigenetics and cancer, and RNAi (RNA interference).
Develop the ability to interpret data from gene expression investigations.
Evaluate appropriate data to assess the influence of genetic and environmental factors on phenotype.
