Genetic Code Regulates Stress Response in Cells

Each cell has their own genetic code that helps maintain viability and directs function.  This genetic code is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. DNA is the molecule that carries genetic instructions that dictate the development and function of each living cell within an organism. Another form of genetic material that is critical for the survival of multicellular organisms includes ribonucleic acid (RNA). This molecule is critical in…
