Genes tell cells how to make proteins.
All cells have genes
The foods you eat can affect the expression of genes in your cells. Nutrients in food can influence gene expression by turning certain genes on or off, impacting various biological processes in the body. Eating a healthy diet rich in nutrients can help promote optimal gene expression and overall health.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia affects genes in the blood cells. Abnormal chromosomes develop and create new genes, these genes allow diseased blood cells to survive. You can learn more about Chronic Myeloid Leukemia at the Mayo Clinic website.
All your genes are present in your liver cells
A peculiar environment can affect genes and their expressions
Somatic mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring because they do not affect the germline cells (sperm and eggs) that give rise to the next generation. Only mutations in the germline cells can be inherited by offspring.
yes it can affect the coding of genes.
Cancerous tumours are formed from cells which have had mutations in very specific genes which have allowed them to survive independantly of cells around them in the body. Some of these key genes code for growth factors and other proteins which affect normal body cells. Often the tumour cell mutations cause upregulation of these growth factors causing neighbouring healthy cells to be affected in unusual ways.
genes and the environment
There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
There are many genes that could affect a person's weight. This is accomplished by suppressing certain fat burning genes in the body.
The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away
