    What's the difference between a Hormone and a gene?

    I think a gene is part of how your DNA is coordinated. I think each gene controls a certain DNA protein that is coded for certain characteristics. A hormone is a chemical released by one or more cells that affects cells in other parts of the organism. Only a small amount of hormone is required to alter cell metabolism. Maybe I am close with this, I learned it but do not quite remember it all.

    Tom a hormone might have been responsible for making you though lol, well maybe not making you but atleast activating the action that created you lol.

    Not sure about the hormone. My mamma said she found me in a crawdad hole. I never knew exactly what she meant.

    Sounds like you are enjoying school.
