A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for producing a specific protein or set of proteins, which play crucial roles in determining an organism's traits and functions. Genes are made up of sequences of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA, consisting of four types: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). The specific order of these nucleotides encodes the information needed for protein synthesis and ultimately influences an organism's characteristics.

What is gene expression-?

Gene expression is the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule. The cell reads the sequence of the gene in groups of three bases.
