Answer:

Allele

Explanation:

A gene is a stretch of DNA that code for a specific protein. A gene can exist as two or more alternative forms. These alternative forms of a gene are called as alleles. The alleles are responsible for presence of variants of a particular genetic trait.

For example: The gene for plant height has two possible forms, i.e. two alleles. These are symbolized as "T" and "t". The allele "T" impart tallness while allele "t" imparts dwarfism to the plants.

What's so the "Central dogma" or sequence of information flow in Turing genes into proteins?

maria [59]

Basically it involves translations:
Once you have your mRNA (which now only has exons) it then binds with rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
It reads a start codon, and then the tRNA reads a complimentary anticodon which codes for a specific amino acid.
Essentially the amino acids then interact elongate, and then you have a long chain of amino acids (primary structure of a protein)

Then there is a lot of folding, di-sulfide bridges and other interaction that then make the amino acids into a protein like haemoglobin (red blood cell)
