There are 3 different types of genes:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A regulator gene. That is a gene that causes the production of a protein that regulates or suppresses the activity of one or more structural genes.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A structural gene. That is a gene that determines the amino acid sequence of a protein.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. An operator gene activates the production of messenger RNA by adjacent structural genes.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Regulator genes are located in the 98% of the DNA that is non-coding. They influence the behavior of the Structural genes, found in the 2% DNA used by the cells in our body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    A Gene is a section of the DNA that encodes instructions that allow a cell to produce a specific molecule- a protein such as an enzyme – that initiates one specific action.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    A gene can have several 100.000s of base-Twins. Genes are responsible for physical traits in the organism, such as eye color or blood type. Understanding genes allows scientists to understand physical traits in living creatures.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    The latest research findings suggest between 20,000 and 30,000 human protein-coding genes. Human cells make extensive use of alternative splicing to produce different proteins from a single gene.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Structural Gene mapping<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Gene mapping<\/span><\/a> refers to one of two different ways of locating the gene on a chromosome:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Genetic mapping<\/span><\/span><\/span> refers to the use of linkage analysis to determine how two genes on a chromosome relate in their positions. It is obtaining an ordered list of genes on a strand of DNA, like listing each exit on a highway. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Physical mapping<\/span><\/span><\/span> locates genes by their absolute positions on a chromosome using any technique, like marking landmarks around each highway exit. Once a gene is located, it can be cloned, its DNA sequence determined, and its molecular product studied. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The diagram shows a gene in relation to the double helix DNA and an X-shaped (dividing) chromosome. Introns are regions that are removed after the DNA is transcribed into RNA. Only the exons encode the protein. A gene-region is usually 100’s times larger than the diagram shows.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
