In biology, a gene is a basic unit of heredity that consists of a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, such as RNA or protein.
The main concept of gene theory is that traits are passed from parents to offspring through gene transmission
The following are some examples of gene theory statements:
Genes have definite loci in chromosomes
Inside the gene, there is recombination and mutation
There are functional and structural genes
Genes are a part of the genomic nucleic acid and the number of nucleotides in genes is not the same
The structural genes encode macromolecules structure
Genes are capable of reparation
The structural gene activities are controlled by functional genes
On being discrete, genotype acts as integrated units
The line of triplets in genes corresponds to the amino acids line in the polypeptide
