Question

What are some statements of the gene theory?

Answer 1

Gene theory:

1. 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.
2. The main concept of gene theory is that traits are passed from parents to offspring through gene transmission
3. The following are some examples of gene theory statements:
   1. Genes have definite loci in chromosomes
   2. Inside the gene, there is recombination and mutation
   3. There are functional and structural genes
   4. Genes are a part of the genomic nucleic acid and the number of nucleotides in genes is not the same
   5. The structural genes encode macromolecules structure
   6. Genes are capable of reparation
   7. The structural gene activities are controlled by functional genes
   8. On being discrete, genotype acts as integrated units
   9. The line of triplets in genes corresponds to the amino acids line in the polypeptide
