Genes are stretches of DNA that code for certain types of molecules. How an organism

looks and functions is a result of the cumulative effect of all these molecules produced
from the DNA code?

Genetic code, the sequence of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. Though the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA contains the information for protein sequences, proteins are not made directly from DNA.
