DRKFUTURE Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 1- When we call Human Genome, do we mean only the portion of DNA that codes for Protein (which estimates 20,000 to 26000), or we mean all the DNA (coding & non coding) 2- Do All Genes code for protein? (if Not, why call it a gene?) 3- What is gene actually? anything that codes for protein or liable for a human Trait, or gene has other functions?
CharonY Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 1 all DNA 2 normally yes (but can also refer to loci that are only transcribed but not translated... Such as rRNA) 3 at minimum will be transcribed, typically refers to protein coding
