👉 In genetics, a gene is a DNA sequence that specifies one or more traits. It codes for proteins in cells and plays a crucial role in determining how organisms respond to their environment. Genes are responsible for transmitting genetic information from parents to offspring. The genetic code is composed of three types of nucleotides: adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These nucleotides form the genetic code, which determines the amino acid sequences in proteins. The human
