Genes code for proteins through a process called transcription, where the DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA. The DNA sequence consisting of adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) is transcribed into RNA with U (uracil) replacing T. This RNA is then translated into proteins using the genetic code, where specific three-letter sequences (codons) correspond to specific amino acids.
Yes, proteins do not code for genes in the process of genetic expression. Genes code for proteins through the process of transcription and translation.
No, not all genes code for proteins. Some genes code for other types of molecules, such as RNA, which play important roles in regulating gene expression and other cellular processes.
Sections of DNA that code for a particular protein are called genes. These genes contain the instructions for assembling specific proteins through a process known as gene expression.
Another word for genes is "genetic material" or "DNA."
Yes, genes contain the instructions for making proteins in living organisms.
