Answered by GPT 3.5
A gene is a unit of heredity that is passed down from parent to offspring and determines specific traits or characteristics in an organism. Genes are made up of DNA and are responsible for encoding the information needed for an organism's growth, development, and functioning. Each gene typically contains instructions for producing a specific protein or controlling a specific process in the body. Variations in genes can lead to different traits or characteristics in individuals, and mutations in genes can result in genetic disorders or diseases.
