Hey mate,here is your answer my friend.
The Units of Heredity

Genes are the units of heredity and are the instructions that make up the body’s blueprint. They code for the proteins that determine virtually all of a person's characteristics.
Humans have an estimated 35,000 genes.
Most genes come in pairs and are made of strands of genetic material called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
Genetic disorders are caused by one or more changes, or mutations, in the instruction code of a particular gene(s), preventing the gene(s) from functioning properly.
The study of human genetics is the study of human variation that is carried in the genes.
The physical location of a gene is its locus. Different versions of genes are called alleles. For example, an eye color gene may have a blue allele and a brown allele.
Genes are organized in structures called chromosomes.
