Abstract

La idea según la cual el gen es una unidad estructural y funcional se ha visto cada vez más cuestionada a causa de descubrimientos realizados en investigaciones con eucariotas. Podemos clasificar los desafíos planteados a dicha idea en tres tipos: correspondencias uno-a-muchos entre segmentos de ADN y ARN/polipéptidos ; correspondencias muchos-a-uno entre segmentos de ADN y ARN/polipéptidos ; falta de correspondencia entre segmentos del ADN y ARN/polipéptidos . Sin embargo, incluso si, por estas razones , no sería realista buscar una definición única de gen, es de capital importancia que seamos capaces de formular diferentes definiciones conectadas entre sí teórica y operacional mente
