3.15- Genes

Understand that a gene is a section of a molecule of DNA.

A section of a molecule of DNA is called a gene. This gene carries the gene which forms the characteristic of an organism. This could be a blood group or petal colour. This information is passed to the cytoplasm and in there it   is transformed into a protein and it is this protein that controls the production of the characteristic.
