Basically, a gene is used to build a protein in a two-step process: 1  Step 1: transcription! Here, the DNA sequence of a gene is rewritten in the form of RNA. 2  Step 2: translation! In this stage, the mRNA is decoded to build a protein (or a chunk/subunit of a protein) that contains a specific series of amino acids.
In linguistics, a marker is a free or bound morpheme that indicates the grammatical function of the marked word, phrase, or sentence.More characteristically, markers occur as clitics or inflectional affixes. In analytic languages and agglutinative languages, markers are generally easily distinguished.In fusional languages and polysynthetic languages, this is often not the case.or example, in Latin, a highly fusional language, the word amo (I love) is marked by suffix-o for indicative mood, active voice, first person, singular, present tense. Analytic languages tend to have a relatively limited number of markers. Markers should be distinguished from the linguistic concept of markedness.
A phrase is a group of related words that does not include a subject and verb. (If the group of related words does contain a subject and verb, it is considered a clause .) There are several different kinds of phrases. vocative  an addressed person's name or substitute name  is often a single word but sometimes takes the form of a noun phrase. A vocative is always treated as a parenthetical element and is thus set off from the rest of the sentence with a comma or a pair of commas (if it appears within the flow of a sentence).
