    Edexcel iGCSE Biology Section E16 Chromosomes, Genes and DNA

    Uploaded by

    Genes contain the codes for specific proteins and are located on chromosomes in the nucleus. A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein. DNA is made of two strands coiled into a double helix, with the strands linked by paired bases - adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. Genes exist in variants called alleles that give rise to differences in inherited traits. Mutations can be harmful, neutral, or beneficial, and the incidence of mutations can increase due to ionizing radiation or chemical mutagens like those in tobacco.
