The Living Cell: DNA

Traces the historical and technological developments that led to the discovery of chromosomes, genes, and the DNA molecule, beginning with Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel. Demonstrates how DNA is removed from the cell and uses computer-animated models to explain molecular protein synthesis and the duplication of genetic information. Discusses the cause and role of mutations and how they provide for diverse species variation.
