5GENE [JEEN] NOUN The basic physical unit of heredity; a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that

t provides the coded instructions for synthesis of RNA, which, when translated into protein, leads to the expression of hereditary character.

GENES HEREDITY [HUH-RED-I-TEE] NOUN, PLURAL HEREDITIES. BIOLOGY . The transmission of genetic characters from parents to offspring: it is dependent upon the segregation and recombination of genes during meiosis and fertilization and results in the genesis of a new individual similar to others of its kind but exhibiting certain variations resulting from the particular mix of genes and their interactions with the environment. The genetic characters so transmitted.

HEREDITY

DNA Genetics. deoxyribonucleic acid: an extremely long macromolecule that is the main component of chromosomes and is the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms, constructed of two nucleotide strands coiled around each other in a ladder like arrangement with the sidepieces composed of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose units and the rungs composed of the purine and pyrimidine bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine: the genetic information of DNA is encoded in the sequence of the bases and is transcribed as the strands unwind and replicate. Compare base pair, gene, genetic code, RNA. The set of nongenetic traits, qualities, or features that characterize a person or thing: Humility is just not in her DNA.
