I know that genes control what proteins get synthesized by cells, but how does that determine the overall structure of an organism?
In: Biology
Proteins do a lot of different jobs within a cell while also being necessary for proper cell shape and rigidity. They help a cell do whatever a cell does. Different types of cells make different proteins. These different cells make up unique tissues (blood, brain, skin, stomach, etc.). These tissues develop alongside each other to form organs, and eventually, a mature organism.
