GENES
A gene is a molecular unit of.. HEREDITY
(passing of trait to offspring from its parents).
GENE is a name given to some areas / segments
of DNA, that code for a polypeptide.

MODE OF INHERITANCE
Dominant genes
produce effects both
in heterozygote & in
homozygote
members.
Recessive genes
produce their
effects only in
homozygote
members.
