Abstract: |
This chapter discusses Darwin's theory of evolution as the starting point for "designing" the developmental mechanism of our brain. It refers to and explains the carriers of information related to our heredity, namely DNA and RNA. The genetic code, gene expression or lack thereof, genes and alleles, the concept and reality of diploid and haploid, dominant and recessive traits, homozygotes and heterozygotes are concepts that are mentioned, explained, and analyzed here. The chapter concludes with the triplet as the central hub of protein production, genes and sequences, and ends with splicing, exons and introns.
