The sequence of bases along a DNA ( or mRNA ) polymer is unique for each
gene . Because genes are hundreds to thousands of nucleotides long , the
number of possible base sequences is effectively limitless . A gene's meaning to
the cell ...

Because we now understand that DNA carries heritable information in the form of
genes , we can see that genes and their products ( proteins ) document the
hereditary background of an organism . The linear sequences of nucleotides in
DNA ...
