A section of DNA that contains the genetic instructions for making a particular protein.
Revise: Cell DifferentiationCells in the same organism generally contain the same genetic information, but they do not need to use every gene in the same way. During differentiation, particular genes are switched on or off. The active genes direct the production of particular proteins, and these proteins contribute to the cell's structures and activities.
- Revise: Chromosomes
A section of DNA that contains the instructions for a particular sequence of amino acids, used to make a protein.
- Revise: DNA and Genome
A small section of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a particular sequence of amino acids to make a specific protein.
