Genes, Genomes, Genetics and Chromosomes

A gene is a locus of DNA which is made up of nucleotides and is the molecular unit of heredity. A genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA. The genome includes both the genes, the noncoding DNA and the genomes of the mitochondria and chloroplasts. Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms. It is generally considered a field of biology, but it intersects frequently with many of the life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of plant gene expression
