Alleles and Genes: The Code of Genetic Variation

<p>Genes are the molecular architects of life, providing the instructions for building and maintaining living organisms. Within these genes, the concept of alleles plays a crucial role in shaping the diversity observed in populations. Understanding the relationship between genes and alleles unveils the intricate mechanisms of genetic variation and inheritance.</p> <h2>Genes as Blueprints:</h2> <p>Genes are segments of DNA that carry the genetic code for synthesizing proteins, the essential building blocks of cells. These codes determine an organism&rsquo;s traits, functions, and characteristics. The human genome, for example, consists of thousands of genes distributed across chromosomes.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@maryam1fakhar321/alleles-and-genes-the-code-of-genetic-variation-42984869a172"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
