The below mentioned article provides an overview on Gene Control in Eukaryotic Cells. The gene control in eukaryotic cells, particularly during differentiation is one of the most extensively studied areas in biology with special reference to molecular mechanism. The genes control the synthesis of various proteins in various cells which finally lead to differential gene expression. This is again regulated [...]
In this article we will discuss about Gene:- 1. Introduction to Gene 2. The Changing Concept of Gene 3. Fine Structure. Introduction to Gene: Mendel's, (1865) experiments with Garden pea plant showed that certain hereditary "factors" were concerned in determining the appearance of certain morphological traits. Such Mendelian "factors" were described as "gene" by Johanssen (1909) and these genes were [...]
