Detailed explanation-1: -Genes are made up of DNA, which contains instructions to produce molecules called proteins. These proteins are responsible for characteristics including eye color, blood type, and height. Genes can also determine a person’s risk of having or developing certain diseases like breast cancer or sickle cell anemia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce regulatory molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
