What best describes the function of genes?

Answer 1

Their function is to hold all the information required to make and regulate the expression of all the different proteins in cells.

The main function of the genes is the form the organism, which is like the parent organism. In bisexual animals, this means to combine the features from both the parents. So man give birth to man and lion gives birth to lion. Amoeba gives birth to amoeba. Second function of the genes is to regulate the growth of the organism. This include the puberty to adulthood to old age and death. Third function of genes is to give specific characters to the individual. Like color of the eyes, color of the skin, final height, determination of sex and many other characteristics.

Answer 2

In cells, a gene is a portion of DNA that contains both "coding" sequences that determine what the gene does, and "non-coding" sequences that determine when the gene is active (expressed). When a gene is active, the coding and non-coding sequences are copied in a process called transcription, producing an RNA copy of the gene's information. This piece of RNA can then direct the synthesis of proteins via the genetic code. In other cases, the RNA is used directly, for example as part of the ribosome.

The molecules resulting from gene expression, whether RNA or protein, are known as gene products, and are responsible for the development and functioning of all living things. The physical development and phenotype of organisms can be thought of as a product of genes interacting with each other and with the environment.[4] A concise definition of a gene, taking into account complex patterns of regulation and transcription, genic conservation and non-coding RNA genes, has been proposed by Gerstein et al.:[5] "A gene is a union of genomic sequences encoding a coherent set of potentially overlapping functional products".

Answer 3

According to the Wikipedia article Gene, "Genes hold the information to build and maintain an organism's cells and pass genetic traits to offspring. All organisms have many genes corresponding to various biological traits, some of which are immediately visible, such as eye color or number of limbs, and some of which are not, such as blood type or increased risk for specific diseases, or the thousands of basic biochemical processes that comprise life."

Answer 4

the main function of genes is to control the production of the proteins in the organisms' cell.

Answer 5

They control the productions of structural proteins.
