different between gene vs xenology
gene
English
Etymology
From German Gen, from Ancient Greek ????? (geneá, “generation, descent”), from the aorist infinitive of ???????? (gígnomai, “I come into being”). Coined by the Danish biologist Wilhelm Ludvig Johannsen in a German-language publication, from the last syllable of pangene.
Pronunciation
- enPR: j?n, IPA(key): /d?i?n/
- Rhymes: -i?n
- Homophones: Gene, Jean
Noun
gene (plural genes)
- (genetics) A theoretical unit of heredity of living organisms; a gene may take several values and in principle predetermines a precise trait of an organism's form (phenotype), such as hair color.
- Coordinate term: cistron
- (molecular biology) A segment of DNA or RNA from a cell's or an organism's genome, that may take several forms and thus parameterizes a phenomenon, in general the structure of a protein; locus.
Usage notes
In the simplest case and in principle, a gene locus is supposed to be the physical reality corresponding to the theoretical gene unit of heredity; in practice, things are far more complicated and confused, which is well known and acknowledged. However, these questions are the subject of still very active scientific research, as well as the topic of both scientific and philosophical questions, especially on the real compatibility between both senses of the term.
