What are the primary functions of genes?
The primary functions of genes are to store and transmit genetic information.
What are the characteristics of genes?
Genes are characterized by their specificity, integrity, discreteness, lability, and pleiotropic effects.
What is the stability of genes?
Genes are generally stable, meaning the information encoded in them usually doesn't change.
What is the role of environmental factors and other genes in gene expression?
Environmental factors and other genes can influence the degree and expressivity of a gene's phenotypic expression.
What is the relationship between genes and hereditary diseases?
Genes are responsible for the expression of several traits, including those observed in some hereditary diseases.
