Dig out a ditch where your French drain will go. A standard French drain ditch is about 1.5 feet deep and 10-12 inches wide, varying based on the size of the pipe chosen (usually 4-6 inches) and the desired depth. Line the ditch on all sides with landscape fabric to prevent soil erosion.
1 A gene is a small section of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific molecule, usually a protein. 2  The purpose of genes is to store information. 3  Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.enes are small sections of DNA within the genome that code for proteins. They contain the instructions for our individual characteristics â like eye and hair colour.
DNA also contains all the genetic coding which is used to control functions, behavior and development of an organism. DNA is also used as a long term storage device to store the genetic instructions. These instructions must be correct so the DNA can make an exact copy of itself.
