what is difference between dna and gene?

Genes are made up of DNA or RNA while the DNA is made up of the long chain of polynucleotides with adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine bases in it. “A gene transfers information for a specific trait while the DNA transfers all the information for all the traits as well as to regulate gene expression.”

A gene is a short length of DNA found on a chromosome that codes for a particular characteristic or protein. Alleles are variations of the same gene. For example, eye colour is the gene but blue, green, brown etc. are alleles.

Genes. A gene is a length of DNA that codes for a specific protein. So, for example, one gene will code for the protein insulin, which is important role in helping your body to control the amount of sugar in your blood. Genes are the basic unit of genetics.

The gene has same status in genetics as the atom has in chemistry. A gene is a segment in DNA that transfers to the offspring and carries some characteristics of parent to transfer into offspring.

A gene is a portion of DNA that determines a trait. A trait is a characteristic, or a feature, passed from one generation to another, like height or eye color. Genes come in multiple forms or versions.

What is a gene? A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.

DNA is found in your cell's nucleus, and you get half from each parent. Genes are DNA sequences that contain complex instructions. Just 1 percent of your DNA sequence is genes.

Gene regulation is the process of controlling which genes in a cell's DNA are expressed (used to make a functional product such as a protein). Different cells in a multicellular organism may express very different sets of genes, even though they contain the same DNA.

Genes are monomers that are joined by hydrolysis to make DNA. Genes are proteins that bind molecules of DNA together to make amino acids. Genes are monomers that are joined by dehydration synthesis to make DNA.

Gene is a functional piece of DNA for a specific trait while alleles are a different variation of a gene. A gene makes a protein while alleles produce different phenotypes related to it. Gene is a single unit for one trait while the alleles occur in pairs.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that makes up an organism's genome in the nucleus of every cell. ... While the genetic difference between individual humans today is minuscule – about 0.1%, on average – study of the same aspects of the chimpanzee genome indicates a difference of about 1.2%.

Gene is a functional piece of DNA for a specific trait while alleles are a different variation of a gene. ... The genes are present in all known organism while not all the alleles are present in all the organism. Genes govern a trait or a group of traits while the alleles produce different phenotypes for different traits.

Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. However, many genes do not code for proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. All known cellular life and some viruses contain DNA. The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information.

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. ... Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people.

A gene is the section of DNA required to produce one protein. Genes are typically hundreds or thousands of base pairs in length because they code for proteins made of hundreds or thousands of amino acids. Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins.
