What is Understanding Gene Structure and Function about?
A gene is a hereditary unit made of nucleotides that directs protein formation, located on chromosomes in eukaryotes and in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. Genes are primarily composed of DNA, which has a double-helix structure and stores genetic information in sequences of nucleotides, forming codons that specify amino acids. The processes of transcription and translation convert DNA information into proteins, with the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis being an oversimplification of gene function.
