A Gene is made up of one DNA molecule. DNA contains a code- provided by its bases- ATCG. This code is read by other cellular machinery and converted into RNA. The RNA is then read by another type of different machinery and converted to protein. So the relationship is direct, a gene (DNA) gets converted to protein. Proteins are the building blocks and active players in our cells, which make up our bodies. Everything depends on your proteins, and hence, on your genes.
A gene, a part of a DNA molecule, contains the code that determines how a particular protein is put together.What is the relationship between a gene, a DNA molecule and a protein?
A DNA molecule is the 'raw' product with the code...it has lots of genes in its whole molecular stucture., Genes are 'groups' of bases which code for a particular protein.
So you would have the X protein Gene on DNA, which is coverted via transcription to mRNA then.....translation via ribosomes which make the protein X from amino acids via peptide bonds.
Genes are what the DNA molecule is divided into and from there the genes code for specific amino acids to make for the cell which are then made into proteins.What is the relationship between a gene, a DNA molecule and a protein?
Proteins make genes, and genes make up your DNA.
