Title: Though we often think of genes in terms of the phenotypes they produce....... Post by: Miss_Oblivious on Apr 4, 2017 Though weoften think of genes in terms of the phenotypes they produce (e.g., curly leaves, flaky tail, brown eyes), the molecular function of most genes is to encode proteins. Many cellular proteins function as enzymes. The table that follows describes the map distance between six different genes that encode six different enzymes: Ada, adenosine deaminase, Hao-1, hydroxyacid oxidase-1; Hdc, histidine decarboxylase; Odc-2, ornithine decarboxylase-2; Sdh-1,sorbitol dehydrogenase-1; and Ass-1, arginosuccinate synthetase-1.
