Gene Expression

The process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize a functional gene product, often a protein.

DNA Base Sequences

The order of nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) in a DNA molecule that determines genetic information.

Gene Frequencies

The ratio of a particular allele to the total of all other alleles of the same gene in a given population.
