O sela transcribe a gene into an RNA version of the gene, and a ribosome then translates the RNA into a sequence of amino acids known as a protein. O le code translation from RNA codon to amino acid is the same for most organisms. For example, a sequence of DNA that codes for insulin in humans also codes for insulin when inserted into other organisms, such as plants. O se gene is a unit of heredity and corresponds to a region of DNA that influences the form or function of an organism in specific ways.
