Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that codes for a functional product, such as a protein or RNA molecule. Random segments of DNA do not necessarily code for a functional product, and three nucleotides coding for an amino acid is called a codon. RNA products are usually the result of transcription of a gene.
