Genes, inheritance of properties for living organisms

British experts suggest that research has seen a small number of people and did not make clear what the genes involved.

Gene (from Dutch: the gene) is a unit of heredity for living organisms. Physical form is a DNA sequence that encodes a protein, polypeptide, or a strand of RNA that has a function for organisms that have them. Limitation of modern gene is a specific location on the genome associated with inheritance of properties and can be connected to function as a regulator (controlling), the target transcription, or other functional roles.

The use of "gene" in everyday conversations (eg "smart gene" or "hair color gene") is often intended to alleles: the variation of available options by a gene. Although the expression of alleles similar to, people more often use the term allele to the phenotypic expression of different genes. Genes inherited by an individual to their offspring through a process of reproduction, together with DNA that carry it. Thus, information that maintain the integrity of form and function of an organism's life can be maintained.

Or Genes are the basic substance of heredity that mengandnung genetic information, composed of nucleic acids (nukleo protein) and contained dilokus genes in the chromosome.

Prof. Christine Williams, of the University of Reading, said: "This is a very interesting study - although very small." He said he would be very useful to gain a better understanding of what genes are involved.

 "Matches are also quite good with some of our own studies which indicate that certain genotypes are more responsive than others to certain types of fat, for example a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids," he added.

Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual (something that can not be observed). The nature of an individual's genotype given the symbol with double letters. For example, genotype for trunked plant height = TT genotype for low-trunked plants = tt. The letter T and t is called gametes.

Genes are divided into two kinds, one is homozygous and there are also genes that are heterozygous genes. Homozygous is the nature of an individual who genotipnya consists of the same genes from each type of gene, such as AA and aa. Meanwhile, the heterozygote is the nature of an individual who genotipnya consists of genes that are different from each type of gene, such as Aa and Bb.

Outer shape or the properties that can be observed is called the phenotype. Phenotype is influenced by genes and environment. If the genes of a plant has a high character, but if the environment is not supportive, then the crop will not reach the height they should be. Phenotype not given a symbol, but is written according to appearances.

For example, red flower color, fruit-flavored sweet, tall or short stems. A red flower, called a red phenotype, and written genotifnya MM or Mm. Two individuals who have the same phenotypic characteristics do not necessarily have the same genotype. Genotifnya be homozygous can also heterozygous. For example, two high-trunked tree, can have TT or Tt genotype with phenotype similar.

Omega 3 helps overcome the pain? Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found that nearly two thirds of patients with chronic neck and back pain successfully overcome the problem by consuming this oil. After taking anti-pain pills in the form of fish oil pills, pain can be improved within 20-30 days. It's one of the functions of omega 3 which has the ability to fight inflammation.

Hopefully useful.
