Exploring Genes and Genetic Coding

INTRODUCTION  Genetics is indeed an enchanting field and genes as well as their genetic code help to identify what makes us, who we are. From the color of our eyes to things like height and our predisposition to various diseases, genes contain the blueprints for the design and operation of all living things. In this blog today, let us explore the genes and gene coding world graced with the basics to complexities but also exploration on the ongoing advances in it. Genes carry that information from a human generation to the next. They are stretches of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which contain the information to make particular proteins, that help your body carry out a multitude of functions. Genes are string of nucleotides that make up DNA, the bricks for genes. The information is written into this sequence of nucleotides which serve as the genetic code from which proteins are made. Genetic Coding:How does it work? Genetic coding is the translation of a gene's...
