How do genes work?

Answer 1

They function through two types of motions, known as transcription and translation. Besides the genes, a chromosomal DNA molecule has specific stretches of DNA that are referred to as promoters and enhancers.

Answer 2

Genes make up the DNA and are the genetic code for the body. Each code codes for a specific protein/ enzyme which is needed by the body.

When the specific protein that is coded for a gene is needed the DNA unravels exposing the gene. The gene is then transcribed by mRNA. (Catalysed by transcriptase) which means that a copy of the gene is made. This copy of the gene is taken out of the nucleus of the cell and to the ribosomes where it is converted into the coded for protein in a process called translation

Answer 3

In essence, genes code for amino acids which code for proteins. These proteins then act as enzymes and control metabolic pathways that determine a particular characteristic. The metabolic pathway works by using the products from each enzyme as the substrate for the next pathway.

Answer 4

Genes are segments of DNA that encode instructions for making proteins. These proteins carry out specific functions in the body, influencing traits and biological processes. Genes are transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into proteins by the cellular machinery. The proteins produced by genes determine how the cell functions and ultimately contribute to an organism's physical characteristics.

Answer 5

A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of any living organism. The function of the gene is to carry all the information required to form the organism, which is like the parent organism.

Answer 6

Genes are the instruction manuals for your cells. They do everything.

Answer 7

well there are alot of fact among this but, theres too much i cant say it!!
