This process is called to "knock out" now scientists by careful designs of DNA molecules, DNA molecules can be constructed with two ends that will sometimes combine again with specific sequences in the chromosome that hosted the genes. :)

When are mutations likely to occur?
A base sequence in a DNA molecule is changed
What is a DNA molecule called?
A gene
Is a gene alive?
A gene is a molecule which may be part of a living cell but not alive itself .
Short section of DNA which codes for a particular trait?
Answer: A gene.
What is the hereditary material sometimes referred to as the Master Molecule?
gene
When are mutations likely to occur?
A base sequence in a DNA molecule is changed
How do you distinguish genes and traits?
Genes are discrete segments along a DNA molecule that codes for a particular trait. A trait is an observable expression of a gene.
Chromosome is to nucleus as DNA is to?
Atom, in that DNA is constructed of nucleotides and nucleotides are constructed of atoms.
A string of triplets that specifies a particular protein?
A gene is the string of triplets that specifies a particular protein.
What is a DNA molecule called?
A gene
What is a segment of a DNA molecule that carries the instructions for producing a specific trait?
It is called a Gene.
A region of the dna molecule that stores instructions for a protein is called a?
a region of the DNA molecule that stores instructions for a protein is called a
What term is used for an organism that has a particular gene that has a particular gene but does not show its effects?
phenotype
Is a gene alive?
A gene is a molecule which may be part of a living cell but not alive itself .
What is the relationship between DNA genes and proteins?
A gene is a segment of DNA sequence which can fold in any orientation and hence will code for a particular protein. DNA molecule is a double helix structure formed by complementary base pairing of nucleotides. Proteins are formed by particular t-RNA and are synthesized in ribosomes. Proteins are required for various metabolic activities occurring in the body. A simpler way to say the same thing is: A gene is a section of a DNA molecule that contains the information to code for one specific protein.
Is a gene a distinct region of a long protein molecule?
No. It is a distinct region of a DNA molecule.
Which molecule completes the flow of information from DNA to protein?
From the gene, you get the messenger RNA. This messenger RNA carries the message to the ribosomes. Here the transfer RNA gets the stock of amino acids with it. As per the instructions of the messenger RNA, the amino acids are placed in the particular sequence to produce the particular protein. This looks simple to write and understand. But this does not explain as to what makes the particular gene to send the messenger RNA to ribosomes.
