Question
Chapter 15.2, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The hypothesis that was being tested by Lederberg.
Introduction: The variations caused in the genetic material of an organism from a source or randomly are called “mutations.” The randomness in the mutation rate was shown by Lederberg in “replica plate experiment.” The minute changes in the “DNA fragment” caused the very new variations among the individuals which makes them different from each other.

In the first event, you must transcribe the proper RNA sequence from the DNA sequence provided. In the next event, you must translate the RNA strand that you have just created and use it to create the proper string of AMINO ACIDS and, eventually, the proper PROTEIN'. When your protein is completed, the final event is to match your protein with its proper trait (ex: tongue rolling). our. thin 1.
