Detailed explanation-1: -DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies. facts What is a gene? Genes are small sections of DNA within the genome that code for proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA (or deoxyribonucleic acid) is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book, it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -First, enzymes read the information in a DNA molecule and transcribe it into an intermediary molecule called messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA. Next, the information contained in the mRNA molecule is translated into the “language” of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each protein is coded for by a specific section of DNA called a gene. A gene is the section of DNA required to produce one protein. Genes are typically hundreds or thousands of base pairs in length because they code for proteins made of hundreds or thousands of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Genetic Code Genetic code refers to the instructions contained in a gene that tell a cell how to make a specific protein.
