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’s traits, functions, and characteristics. The human genome, for example, consists of thousands of genes distributed across chromosomes.</p>
