Now that we understand the relationships between alleles at a gene, it is time to place this understanding in a large context. You should become very fluent with this concept: the Central Dogma of Molecular Genetics. This concept is a unifying principle that describes the manner in which the sequence information in the gene is eventually expressed as a trait (or phenotype). DNA is the biochemical molecule of all genes. DNA contains the genetic code that will eventually be converted into the protein that will control the phenotype expression. But DNA is not directly used for phenotypic e
