The DNA composed of four nucleotides: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. These nucleotides linked together to form the DNA molecule.

The proteins play a role in all the activities of the cell, including its structure, metabolism, and reproduction.<\/li>\n<li>The genes the basic units of heredity and transmitted from parent to offspring. The genes made up of DNA, which is the hereditary material in all living cells. Every gene has the ability to produce a specific protein that performs a specific function in the cell.<\/li>\n<li>The function of the genes is to provide the instructions for the production of proteins. Proteins are the molecules that carry out the functions of the cell. The proteins made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Therefore genes provide the instructions for the production of proteins by specifying the sequence of amino acids in the protein.<\/li>\n<li>The function of the genes is to ensure that the proteins produced correctly. If a gene mutated, it can result in the production of a protein that is not functional. This can lead to disease or death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explain_in_detail\"><\/span>Explain in detail :<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The article discusses the use of the ketogenic diet to treat epilepsy. ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that causes the body to use ketones for energy instead of glucose.
