GENE FUNCTION

INTRODUCTION
• Genes are DNA sequences associated with protein form
nucleosome histone and condense to form bodies called
chromosomes
• Genes are segments of DNA that consists of phosphate, pentose,
deoxyribose sugar and nitrogen bases with a specific length
• Three types of genes were defined related to their functions: genes
coding for proteins, genes specifying the untranslated RNA (tRNA,
RNAs ... ) and the regulatory genes

GENE FUNCTION
Biological Function:
• Genes are active particles that controls characters (coding for
protein synthesis, but only 7 students indicate that gene codes for
primary structure of protein)
• Genes determine characters
• Genes play a role in transmission of hereditary information
• Genes carry hereditary information
GENE FUNCTION
According to Mendel’s Theory:
• The nature of which is determined by a single gene or a gene form
one character is a concept that is formed from the findings of
Mendelian gene controlling nature for example hair color black
• In addition, there is the nature of living beings is not controlled by
a single gene i.e. determined by a group of nearby genes could
spread or not scattered as stated "Clustered genes specifying one
trait" and "Dispersed genes specifying one trait”
• Pleiotropic i.e. the presence of certain genes in living things that
control more than one trait/character
RELATIONSHIP BEETWEN
GENE, DNA, and CHROMOSOME
• It is a series of DNA segments form a gene/, whereas the genes of
chromosome in one date. Chromosomes are composed of DNA,
which date back to serially form a spiral and a protein associated
with histone and non-histone
• Chromosome is defined as a molecule of nucleic acid containing
several genes, as well as on specific structure composed of DNA
and protein histone and other protein is often referred to as
nucleoprotein
CONCLUSION
A gene is a segment of DNA that can express a certain properties. So
the gene is part of a chromosome. Is the biological functions of genes:
Genes are active particles that controls characters (coding for protein
synthesis, but only 7 students indicate that gene codes for primary
structure of protein). Determine genes characters; Genes play a role
in transmission of hereditary information; Genes carry hereditary
information. According to Mendel Properties defined by a single
gene or a gene to form a single character
