PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein. One DNA molecule typically contains thousands of genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gene. A segment of a DNA molecule (a sequence of bases) that codes for a particular protein and determines the traits (phenotype) of the individual. A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genes are segments of DNA that contain instructions for building the molecules that make the body work. Most of the molecules are proteins. Parents pass their genes to their offspring.
