    Glossary Genes

    segments of DNA that encode instructions for protein synthesis

    Genes are segments of DNA that act as instructions for building and maintaining the body's cells and tissues. They determine inherited traits, such as eye color or susceptibility to certain diseases, by encoding for specific proteins that perform various functions in the body.
