GENE
A Gene is a segment of DNA and is located on the
chromosome.
Gene specifies the structure of particular protein
that make up each cell.

DNA Replication
Process of producing
two identical replicas
from one original DNA
molecule.
It occurs with the help
of
a
lot
of
enzymes/catalyst.
LPU : BTY100

Transcription: Process of Formation of RNA

from DNA

LPU : BTY100

TRANSLATION:
Process by which
RNA (mRNA) produced by
transcription is decoded by a
ribosome complex to produce a
protein
