Question

Explain how do proteins control the characteristics in plants.

Answer 1

Cellullar DNA is a strand that contain important genetical information about the various characteristics of an organism. A functional unit of a DNA that encode for a protein is known as gene. Every gene encode for a particular protein that performs a particular function. Like in case of the tallness as a characteristic of a plant, DNA has a gene that encode for a protein whose role is to control the height of a plant. That particular protein act as an enyme which catalyze a particular metabolic pathway responsible for the increase in a height. If a plant have that gene it will produce that protein and is tall in height but if a plant lack that gene it will not produce an enzyme necesary for the metabolic pathway and have small height.
