Ryan Clark DNA sequence

Write an essay explaining Ryan Clark’s disorder and make a recommendation whether or not he should play in the playoff game in Denver. You must include an introduction, a paragraph explaining each of the pieces of data, and a conclusion. You may start with the macro data (oxygen saturation data) and move to the micro data (DNA strand) or vice versa, but the explanation should flow together and make sense. The following words must be included in your essay, DNA, RNA, transcription, translation, oxygen saturation, blood micrograph, hemoglobin, protein, amino acid, and mutation.
