ген

A unit of inheritance usually occurring at a specific location, or loci, on a chromosome. Physically, a gene is a sequence of DNA bases that specify the order of amino acids in a protein or, in some cases, a small RNA molecule referred to as a microRNA. A gene may be made up of hundreds to thousands of DNA bases. Genes are responsible for hereditary characteristics.
