The Genetic Code connects with the Dogma of Cell Biology as well as Gene Expression and Regulation. The information within macromolecules is passed down and dictates the production of other macromolecules which are then regulated. However, assaults to the code can disrupt the proper gene expression leading to variations in the gene product. Describe the type of assaults to the genetic code and how can these changes in the code affect or not affect the gene product.
