A gene is a section of DNA that carries enough information to make a single protein. Gene carries information that is used to make proteins in the process called gene expression. The process starts with transcription which involves making of a messenger RNA with a DNA molecule as a primer. Then the mRNA undergoes the process of translation which results to the formation of proteins, that perform different cellular activities.
