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).

People who are lactose intolerant are unable to digest lactose, the sugar commonly found in dairy, because their bodies don't make the enzyme lactase.
Lactase works by breaking down lactose into a simpler sugar that can be used by the body. Without it, lactose is not absorbed by the body & remains in the waste where gut bacteria metabolize it & cause the bloating, gas & other similar discomforts experienced by the lactose intolerant.
Hope that helps!
In truth, though, it is the non-lactose intolerant people that are the mutants. Not the other way around. Most wild animals don't consume milk after they have been weaned & it's just something humans developed to accommodate their diet.
Answer:
<em>1. They effect crop productivity</em>
As weeds start to grow in the area where the crops were destined to grow, the production of the crops gets lowered.
<em>2. They deplete the crops from nutrition</em>
The weeds will compete with the crop plants for resources such as minerals from the soil.
<em>3. They will deplete water resources</em>
The weeds will compete with the crop plants for water.
<em>4. Sun-light will be depleted</em>
The weeds will complete with the crop plants for sun light.
<em>5. The crop quality will be affected</em>
As the crop plants will be in competition with the weeds, hence their quality will be affected.
6. <em>They can reduce the biodiversity of crop plants.</em>
