What is the difference between a cistron and a gene?
Cistrons encode only a single protein. Genes code for both proteins and functional RNA.
What numbers of protein that your genes produce?
Well I think this question may be misphrased. Proteins are mad eup of chians of amino acids. Amino acids are encoded/ made up of nucleotides that are encoded by genes. There are 20 different amino acids in the human body that combine to form hundreds of thousands of proteins. It is not possible to know how many proteins genes produce because not all genes have even been decoded yet. Furthermore, even if all of the genes in the human body had been identified, these genes would encode different sequences of nucleotides, that would then encode for different amino acids, that could then combine to form nearly endless types of proteins.
Do genes determine a persons eye color by coding for nitrogenous bases that affect eye color?
I'm not sure on the complete mechanism for the formation of eye colour however genes are made of the four nitrogenous bases A, T, G, C. So the simple answer is no they don't as the genes for eye colour don't encode for any bases at all instead they encode proteins which in turn will effect eye colour. Hope this helps :)
How do genes hold the recipe for all proteins needed by an organism?
Because genes hold all of our DNA
What is the link between genes and a healthy organism?
Genes encode RNA and proteins/enzymes in DNA sequences. The proteins and enzymes allow the organism to function optimally. Enzymes are involved in cycles such as TCA and FTC in the form of ATP (energy). If a mutation occurs when the gene encode these enzymes the entire cycle can be disrupted and cause an organism to become unhealthy. Genes control everything you anatomically are and a healthy organism is defined by what it does, eats and the environment surrounding it. Genes may change during your life on their own and anatomical miracles may occur.
Vaccines can now be genetically engineered by inserting the genes that encode the pathogen's surface proteins into the what?
the RNA of the defective genes
What do genes encode?
Genes encode the instructions for building proteins, which are the primary functional molecules in cells. These proteins determine the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs in an organism. Additionally, genes also regulate gene expression, cell processes, and overall development.
Vaccines can now be genetically engineered by inserting the genes that encode the pathogen's surface proteins into the?
DNA of harmless bacteria or viruses.
Where are genes located and what is the nature of genes?
genes are parts of the cell's DNA genome that encode for specific proteins that are needed in the organism (structural, enzymes, membrane proteins,..) they are located at different places in the genome and the metabolic state of the cell will enchance or repress the transcription of this genes.

Cistrons encode only a single protein. Genes code for both proteins and functional RNA.
Why do many inherited conditions result from defective enzymes?
Inherited condition result from defective enzymes because enzymes are proteins and genes encode them.
What are made up of genes?
Genes are made of DNA (or RNA - not in humans). They are sequences that encode for a functional product (usually a protein). Chromosomes contain genes.

How is the function of the organisms relate to the genes in their cells?
Genes are relatively small sections of DNA which encode (provide a template for) proteins. Chromosomes are molecules that consist of very long strand of DNA coiled many times, & a few proteins called histones which hold the whole structure together.
