Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genes, segments of DNA present within the chromosomes of a cell, provide the code for conversion RNA into proteins, the functional and structural units of the human body. Hence, a gene is a template. These proteins determine the properties of our cells and their function, including the immune system.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a functional product (mRNA, tRNA, or rRNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person’s genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
