Meropenem is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria in the body. Meropenem is used in the treatment of infections of the abdomen, such as appendicitis and peritonitis, bacterial meningitis (infection of the lining of the brain), and skin infections. Meropenem may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.
A gene is a section of DNA which controls part of a cell's chemistry - particularly protein production. in the same places. But there are different versions of the same gene. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles (pronounced 'al-eels'). For example, the gene for eye colour has an allele for blue eye colour and an allele for brown. For any gene, a person may have the same two alleles or two different ones. Recessive or dominant alleles
These alleles encode slightly different versions of a protein, which cause different phenotype traits. Colloquial usage of the term having a gene (e.g., good genes, hair colour gene) typically refers to having a different allele of the gene.Genes evolve due to natural selection or survival of the fittest of the alleles.he total complement of genes in an organism or cell is known as its genome, which may be stored on one or more chromosomes. A chromosome consists of a single, very long DNA helix on which thousands of genes are encoded. The region of the chromosome at which a particular gene is located is called its locus.
