In cells, genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins; not sugars or complex carbohydrates, or lipids, but proteins.

The sequence is variable because of mutations which can change the sequence of amino acids in the protein coded for by that gene. Therefore, in evolution, a change in a single code for a single amino acid may have an effect on individual survival. Proteins carry out many functions in a cell such as
