Refer to figure 7.28 and the chapter content to answer the following questions.

1. Why is protein production essential to cell function?

2. Where do promoters, terminators, stop codons, transcription factors, RNA polymerase, and enhancers fit into this concept map?

3. Use the concept map to explain how DNA nucleotides are related to amino acids.

4. Review the Survey the Landscape figure in the chapter introduction, and then explain why a mutation in DNA sometimes causes protein function to change.
