Does all of the genome make protein?

No, in fact, only a small portion of the genome codes for protein synthesis. Most of the genome, as far as we can determine, does not synthesize protein but instead helps to determine when the genes that synthesize protein will be activated. That, apparently, is the more complicated problem. There are also sections of the genome that are essentially parasitic, and have no apparent function. They are just going along for the ride.

How does a gene differ from genome?

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that contains the instructions to make a functional product like a protein, while a genome is the complete set of an organism's genetic material, including all its genes. Think of a gene as a single instruction in a recipe book, and the genome as the entire recipe book.

What is a gene and genome?

A genome is all genetic data of a single cell. That includes the genes in the nucleus, but also that of mitochondrial DNA.A gene is a section of the genome which codes for one protein. It consists of various codons.Every single codon codes for one amino acid (Many amino-acids put together form a protein). Every codon consists of three adjacent nucleotides.

What is the Human Genome Project-?

The Human Genome Project is an international effort to map and sequence all the DNA base pairs of the human genome. It's also an effort to identify the all the genes and the protein/trait that they code for in the human genome. ============================================== The Human Genome Project studies the human chromosomes to determines which genes are involved in what aspects of the human body reproduction, growth, functioning, and health intending to produce a map of the DNA structure, what it does, and how.

What does the word gene?

A gene is a functional unit on DNA. A gene codes for a protein. Most of the DNA in a genome does not code for protein. These non-coding sequences are thought to provide a sense of stability and integrity to the genome. If a DNA sequence is capable of coding for a functional protein, then it is a gene


What role do protein coding genes play in the human genome?

Protein coding genes in the human genome provide instructions for making proteins, which are essential for various biological functions in the body, such as growth, repair, and regulation of processes.
