Give four specific counter examples for why each of the following definitions for a gene are incorrect. for each definition, there may be several possible counter examples. for full credit, each counter example should be distinct. for example, if a friend of yours claimed that "a gene is all the dna sequences that determine an inherited trait", you could reply: "no, that is incorrect, because multiple genes will often determine an inherited trait."a. "a gene is a sequence of nucleotides from a start codon to a stop codon."b. "a gene is a sequence of nucleotides that codes for a functional protein."c. "a gene is a sequence of nucleotides that codes for an rna molecule (which may be translated)."d. "a gene is the entire dna sequence that affects the production of a protein."
