A gene encodes a protein.
A gene is a sequence of codon pairs that is contained on a chromosome (strand of DNA). The gene is transcribed to a piece of m-RNA, which is then used in the production of the given protein in the ribosomes.
This is the classical view. In reality the genetic machinery is a lot more complex. For example, why is some genes active and some inactive. Why does skin-cells differ from muscle-cells or brain-cells when they all stem from the same cell (the combination of an egg-cell and sperm-cell)? Most likely there are advanced feedback mechanisms, and control mechanisms beyond the genes to control this.

All information for producing proteins resides in the nucleotide sequences of the genes. A gene contained within the DNA of the cell, specifies the instructions for how to synthesize a particular protein. This information is "transcribed" into messenger RNA which travels to the synthetic apparatus of the cell for proteins, the ribosomes, where the information is "translated" into the language of proteins using amino acids. Careful though, not all genes encode proteins, some encode special, functional RNAs such as the ribosomal RNAs and the transfer RNAs, including many others. But ALL cellular proteins are encoded by specific genes.

Gene is my cousin. I don't know anyone who's name is Protein. Who'd do that kinda thing to a poor kid?
OK, really? A gene is made of DNA. Proteins are complex, 3 dimensional assemblies with carbon and nitrogen backbone structures. A gene has the instructions the cell folows to makes a protein.
Now what's the difference between an enzyme and a hormone? Give up? You can make an enzyme, but it's very difficult to make a whore moan.

A Gene is made up of one DNA molecule. DNA contains a code- provided by its bases- ATCG. This code is read by other cellular machinery and converted into RNA. The RNA is then read by another type of different machinery and converted to protein. So the relationship is direct, a gene (DNA) gets converted to protein. Proteins are the building blocks and active players in our cells, which make up our bodies. Everything depends on your proteins, and hence, on your genes.

Transcription is the synthesis of an RNA copy of a segment of DNA(gene). then protein is synthesised from the mRNA(translation).hope this helps!

porteins are made up of amminoasids. the gene ie a segment of the dna tells the cell on how the aminoasids r to be arranged in the protien during protien synthesis...(for more details do a search on jene transcription)
