Genetic information
* Most genetic information comes from parents
  - has values
* allows development.
* can affect different people in many ways.
* comes from only one parent, and all offspring are virtually identical
* directs the synthesis of proteins.
* has potential values
* is copied and transmitted from generation to generation.
* is encoded in the sequence of the bases along a DNA molecule
  - within the sequence of bases
  - information about inherited characteristics
  - organized into chromosomes in the nucleus, or control center, of the cell
  - shared information
* is stored in a linear message on nucleic acids
  - through the specific order of the nucleotides
  - the end product of genetic testing
  - theoretically identical in each cell
  - used to detect the impact of human activities on the environment
* provides insight.

Genomic information

  * This is the principle that hereditary information moves only from genes to body cells, and never in reverse. Hereditary information moves only from germline cells to somatic cells.

Important information
