Quinces used to be more popular than they are today; you often can find an odd small quince tree growing in the yard of an old house. But people donât can as much as they used to and unless youâve actually had something made with quince, you donât know what youâre missing.
Genetics is the study of single genes and their effects. For example, Huntington's or Tay-Sachs disease would be considered genetics because a single gene causes these diseases, despite environmental interactions. Genomics is the study of all your genes including interactions of those genes with each other and with your environment. For example, heart disease, asthma, diabetes, and cancer would all be considered genomics because they are caused by genetic and environmental factors.
â¢ Gene is a segment or a portion of DNA molecule while genome is the total DNA content in a cell. â¢ Genes code for proteins. Genome itself cannot code for proteins as it contains almost all the DNA. Since the gene is only a portion of a DNA molecule, that part is enough to code for proteins.sually these characteristics are encoded in the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules present in their cells. Gene properties and genome properties vary widely from one species to another.
