A unit of heredity; a segment of DNA or RNA that is transmitted from one generation to the next, and that carries genetic information such as the sequence of amino acids for a protein
the unit of heredity A gene contains hereditary information encoded in the form of DNA and is located at a specific position on a chromosome in a cell's nucleus Genes determine many aspects of anatomy and physiology by controlling the production of proteins Each individual has a unique sequence of genes, or genetic code
A unit of hereditary information A gene is a section of a DNA molecule that specifies the production of a particular protein More on genes
The segment of DNA on a chromosome that contains the information necessary to make a protein A gene is the unit of biological inheritance
Made-up of DNA and contained in every cell, they are sets of instructions that control biological development and function You inherit genes as distinct units from your parents
(genetics) a segment of DNA that is involved in producing a polypeptide chain; it can include regions preceding and following the coding DNA as well as introns between the exons; it is considered a unit of heredity; "genes were formerly called factors
DNA segment which, due to its individual composition of pairs of bases, is responsible for the production of specific proteins Genes are the basic units of heredity The order in which the 4 bases of DNA are linked in a gene is called the sequence of a gene
The functional and physical unit of heredity A gene is a sequence of nucleotide bases located in a particular position on a particular chromosome that encodes for a specific RNA molecule or protein
A specific sequence of DNA that encodes for a specific trait, characteristic, or protein in an organism
A unit of heredity that occupies a particular position on the DNA molecule in a chromosome; a segment of DNA containing all of the information necessary to make proteins
(adjective GENETIC): the unit of heredity A gene contains hereditary information encoded in the form of DNA and is located at a specific position on a chromosome in a cell's nucleus Genes determine many aspects of anatomy and physiology by controlling the production of proteins
A unit of genetic material (DNA); a segment of DNA that contains the information for a specific function
The basic unit of heredity, the gene contains the functional and physical characteristics passed from parent to offspring Located on a chromosome, genes are blueprints for proteins, which are central to all life-processes (SNP consortium)
The fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity A gene is an ordered sequence of nucleotides located in a particular position on a particular chromosome that encodes a specific functional product (i e , a protein or RNA molecule) See also: gene expression
The fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity, responsible for specific traits such as eye color A gene is an ordered sequence of nucleotides located in a particular position on a particular chromosome that encodes a specific functional product (i e , a protein or RNA molecule) A gene is written in a code of four letters: A, C, T and G, representing four chemicals, and depending on the gene, these letters are repeated a certain number of times The smallest human gene contains 252 repetitions of these letters, while the longest one repeat them more than a million times There are approximately 30,000 genes in the human genome (See also Gene Sequencing)Source : Human Genome Project Information; PhRMA Genomics
The functional unit of of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) Genes are segments of chromosomes found in the nucleus of cells This hereditary information usually directs the formation of a protein
An organized sequence of molecules that "spells out" the information necessary to construct a specific messenger called "messenger RNA" which, in turn, makes a specific protein Every cell requires a host of genes that act as blueprints to produce highly specialized proteins that are essential to the cell's function For example, the genes ROM-1 and peripherin are important in forming the outer segment membranes of photoreceptor cells Other proteins, like rhodopsin, are involved in a rod cell's response to light
A gene is the part of a cell in a living thing which controls its physical characteristics, growth, and development. A hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes. a part of a cell in a living thing that controls what it looks like, how it grows, and how it develops. People get their genes from their parents (gen, from genos ). Unit of heredity that occupies a fixed position on a chromosome. Genes achieve their effects by directing protein synthesis. They are composed of DNA, except in some viruses that contain RNA instead. The sequence of nitrogenous bases along a strand of DNA determines the genetic code. When the product of a particular gene is needed, the portion of the DNA molecule that contains that gene splits, and a complementary strand of RNA, called messenger RNA (mRNA), forms and then passes to ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. A second type of RNA, transfer RNA (tRNA), matches up the mRNA with specific amino acids, which combine in series to form polypeptide chains, the building blocks of proteins. Experiments have shown that many of the genes within a cell are inactive much or even all of the time, but they can be switched on and off. Mutations occur when the number or order of bases in a gene is disrupted. See also genetic engineering, genetics, Hardy-Weinberg law, Human Genome Project, linkage group.
