Detailed explanation-1: -A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. However, many genes do not code for proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genes, segments of DNA present within the chromosomes of a cell, provide the code for conversion RNA into proteins, the functional and structural units of the human body.
Detailed explanation-4: -A gene is a section of a DNA molecule that contains the information to code for one specific protein. The gene contains the code that determines the structure of a protein. The order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced.
