Genes control heredity characteristics. They can be found as a small section of a(an):
A
Computer.
B
Chromosome.
C
Enzyme.
D
Protein.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genes carry the information that determines your traits (say: trates), which are features or characteristics that are passed on to you-or inherited-from your parents. Each cell in the human body contains about 25, 000 to 35, 000 genes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inherited traits are controlled by genes and the complete set of genes within an organism’s genome is called its genotype. The complete set of observable traits of the structure and behavior of an organism is called its phenotype. These traits arise from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic material, including genes and DNA, controls the development, maintenance and reproduction of organisms. Genetic information is passed from generation to generation through inherited units of chemical information (in most cases, genes).
