Each gene is a set of biochemical instructions that tells a cell how to assemble one of many different proteins. Each protein has its own highly specialized role to play in the body. Genetic Mutations Permanent changes to genes. Once such change occurs, it can be passed on to children. Proteins Cells translate genetic information into specific proteins.
Proteins determine the physical and chemical characteristics of cells and therefore organisms.
