3.15 Understand that a gene is a section of a molecule of DNA
A section of DNA is called a gene
Genes carry information which forms the characteristic of organisms e.g. blood group, petal colour, etc. (different gene for different characteristic)

The Genes are located in the chromosomes which are held in the Nucleus.
The characteristic information is passed to the Cytoplasm.
In the Cytoplasm the genetic information is transformed into a Protein, this protein then controls the production of its characteristic.

Information flow:
Gene (nucleus) -> Protein (cytoplasm)
