A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a protein.
Chromatin is the general term that describes uncondensed DNA plus the protein associated with DNA. Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins that make up chromosomes in the cell nucleus.
gene
The process you are referring to is called protein synthesis. It involves translating the genetic information stored in DNA into a specific sequence of amino acids that make up a protein. This process occurs in two main stages: transcription and translation.
That depends. DNA undergoing replication is assisted by varieties of proteins to make a new strand. Also, in order for DNA to be coiled into chromosomes, the DNA must be wrapped around the protein histone. But in the actual structure of DNA, no, there are no proteins.
DNA --> RNA --> Proteins -----------------------------------------That simple.

Basically, one gene gives the instructions for making one protein. I'm not sure how much detail you want, here, but a gene is a segment of DNA and the sequence of bases in the DNA determine the sequence of amino acids that make up the protein.
The information to make a specific protein comes from DNA. DNA is the material in a personâ??s genes that makes them who they are.

DNA and protein capsids make up a virus particle. The DNA (or RNA) carries the genetic material of the virus, while the protein capsid provides protection and helps the virus to infect host cells.
The process you are referring to is called protein synthesis. It involves translating the genetic information stored in DNA into a specific sequence of amino acids that make up a protein. This process occurs in two main stages: transcription and translation.
In the process of transcription, DNA is used as a blueprint to make m-RNA which codes for a specific protein.
DNA basically contains the information needed to create protein. Each protein is encoded by a gene, which carries specific physical characteristics for each person.

The nucleus is a mass of DNA and protein. It directs the cell to make various proteins and/or lipids that the cell needs to function.
