Text analysis Genes code for particular proteins The search for the chemistry and molecular structure of nucleic acids The research race for the molecular structure of DNA How DNA replicates 1.Genes code for particular proteins The first scientists to investigate the question of how genes affect phenotype was Sir Archibald Garod , whose studies of alkaptonuria implied a relationship between genes and enzymes. Archibald Garrod是第一个研究基因是如何影响表型的科学家，他对尿黑酸症的研究揭示了基因与酶之间的关系。 Alkaptonuria(尿黑酸尿症 ) 是酪氨酸代谢中缺乏尿黑酸酶引起的代谢遗传病。这种病人的尿中含有尿黑酸，在碱性条件下暴露于氧气中，氧化并聚合为类似于黑色素的物质，从而使尿成黑色。 Thirty years later Bea
