<text>Often, how large a part of the structure of a gene is the protein coding sequence?</text><reasoning>The structure of a gene consists of many elements of which the actual protein coding sequence is often only a small part. These include DNA regions that are not transcribed as well as untranslated regions of the RN...

Who first suggested the existence of discrete inheritable units?
<text>Who first suggested the existence of discrete inheritable units?</text><reasoning>The existence of discrete inheritable units was first suggested by Gregor Mendel (1822–1884). From 1857 to 1864, he studied inheritance patterns in 8000 common edible pea plants, tracking distinct traits from parent to offspring. He...
