AboutParas Anand Expertise I have studied molecular biology & cell biology. I would be happy to answer your general questions on cells, their organelles, membranes and host-pathogen interaction. I will not answer questions on basic biology.

QUESTION: is the gene the cell that carries the design instruction for each part of the infant
Answer Yes of course......
During development of the infant, these genes/DNA program cells of the body so that they become differentiated/specialized into different body cells that in turn form different body organs. All in all everything is finally controlled by the genes (and the proteins coded by it) at the molecular level.
