Genetic Control Signals in DNA

  • Chapter
Biological Regulation and Development

Part of the book series: Biological Regulation and Development ((BRD,volume 1))

Abstract

All organisms control the expression of the genetic information stored in their DNA. The DNA in every cell of every organism contains a vast number of genes. The gene products can carry out an equally vast number of biological and biochemical functions. Utilization of this potential must be coordinated and energetically efficient so that any organism can survive the selective pressures of its environment and reproduce in numbers sufficient to avoid extinction. Overall genetic regulation has two primary objectives: first, to allow for biologically favorable adaptive responses to changes in environment, and second, to coordinate an effectively irreversible program of development leading to reproduction. Control signals, encoded in an organism’s DNA, are primary elements of this genetic regulation.
