Genes are the code for forming proteins. DNA is formed by nucleotides (adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine). Every 3 of these bases (along the whole DNA strand), codify for a aminoacid, and several aminoacids form proteins. Several proteins determine a feature. In human genetics, everything except blood type (A, B, AB or 0) is determined by more than one gene.
a gene codes for a polypeptide. however recent research shows that a gene doesn't always code for a protein and a gene can result in more than one polypeptide. but for the most part a gene codes for a polypeptide.

∙ 11y agoFor a coding gene, the sequence of DNA bases describes the amino acid sequence that will result in a protein or enzyme.
However, there are many parts of the total genome that do not directly code for proteins. These regions are involved in gene expression regulation.

How do the nitrogen bases along a gene serve as a genetic code?
The order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced
Why is it that a carrot plant can express a bacterial gene?
Because the genetic code is the same in both organisms.
One set of instructions for an inherited trait?
They are called alleles.
What Portion of DNA which carries the genetic code for the formation of a particular protein by specifying its amino acids sequence?
Gene
What molecule provides the code of instructions for the characteristics of an organism?
The portion of a DNA molecule containing the coded instructions is the gene. It is the basic unit of heredity that is passed from a parent to an offspring.
What is the genetic code code for?
instruction stored in the gene in the form genetic code.
A gene is a genetic code for what?
A single gene can code for anything, we do not know. For example, if I picked 1 gene and then picked a second one, the first one could code for hair colour, where as the second one could code for freckles. In other words, a gene is a genetic code for a part of yourself.
How do the nitrogen bases along a gene serve as a genetic code?

How do the nitrogen base along a gene serve as a genetic code?

What role to genes play in genetics?
Gene brings genetic information from our parents. Gene contains DNA that code for a protein.
Why is it that a carrot plant can express a bacterial gene?
Because the genetic code is the same in both organisms.
What do you call a change in the genetic code?
gene- coding or gene manipulationor if youre looking for the answer from novelstars ;;; MUTATION :D
What is gene code?
The genetic coding is the set of rules by which the information in the genetic material is translated into proteins. It was translated in full by the Human Genome Project in the 1990s.
Many people use the terms gene and allele interchangeably Are they the same please explain?
Gene and allele are not the same thing. An allele is one variation of a gene. A gene refers to the entire genetic code for a trait.
One set of instructions for an inherited trait?
They are called alleles.
