RWS-06 Genes
Some parts of this site are currently incomplete & will be updated asap
Other parts will change continually so use “Refresh” in your browser !!
There is extensive use of “Tooltips” text to support learning which do not seem to render on a Smartphone, so this site is best viewed via a computer’s HD monitor
Learning -> Resources Available, All Work is Subject to DHRF's "GD"
Where is the Gene?
What is the Gene? And what does it do?
“a gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein“ Source: Wikipedia
“A gene is the region of DNA that encodes for a specific protein” Source: (Ahern 2019, p. 250)
“A gene is a repository of information. That is, it holds the information for making one of the key molecules of life, an RNA. The sequence of bases in the RNA depends directly on the sequence of bases in the gene. Most of these RNAs, in turn, serve as templates for making other critical cellular molecules, proteins. The production of RNAs and proteins from a DNA blueprint is called ‘gene expression’“ Source: (Weaver 2012, p. 30)

In view of DHRF’s commitment to support learning, there is a much higher “learning content” in the Research Work Streams than would otherwise be the case… Please be aware of that ↩
