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. Most genescome in pairs and are made of strands of genetic material calleddeoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.

Gregor Mendel set seminal theories on heredity and variation. In Law of Unit Characters, he described the unit characters as the factors of inheritance. These factors are now referred to as genes. These unit factors, accordingly, are the ones responsible for the variations in inherited characteristics.

Hereditary Unit. A hereditary unit or a gene determines a particular characteristic in an organism and can be passed on unaltered to progenitors. It is located on a specific location of a chromosome. A gene may have multiple transcription units.

Heredity, the sum of all biological processes by which particular characteristics are transmitted from parents to their offspring. ... The set of genes that an offspring inherits from both parents, a combination of the genetic material of each, is called the organism's genotype.
