What is a gene?

  • According to Mendel something was being stably passed down, unchanged, from parent to offspring through the gametes, over successive generations. He called these things as ‘factors’ now called as genes. Genes, therefore, are the units of inheritance.
  • They contain the information that is required to express a particular trait in an organism.
  • Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are known as alleles, i.e., they are slightly different forms of the same gene.
  • There is no ambiguity that the genes are located on the DNA, it is difficult to literally define a gene in terms of DNA sequence.
  • The DNA sequence coding for tRNA or rRNA molecule also defines a gene. A cistron is defined as a segment of DNA coding for a polypeptide, the structural gene in a transcription unit could be said as monocistronic (mostly in eukaryotes) or polycistronic (mostly in bacteria or prokaryotes).

Fish lay a large number of eggs, few of which are fertilized and very few of which hatch into young ones. Still fewer live to ma
vazorg [7]
The answer would be survival of the fittest.

This metaphor, "<em>survival of the fittest</em>," was used by Herbert Spencer to explain <em>natural selection. </em>It is sometimes also referred to as the survival for existence. This phrase came from the Dawinian theory of evolution where he explains that all species are capable of producing many offsprings. However, the survival of those offsprings depends on their ability to adapt to the risks and opportunities of the external environment. 
<em>
</em>This relates to your scenario in the sense that fish lay a lot of eggs in the beginning but not all of them would live to achieve maturity. This is because even as eggs, they have many predators and are exposed to other elements. The threat pushes on even if they are able to hatch and grow up.
