A segment of the [[DNA]] in a chromosome. Genes are like sentences built up of the "letters" of the nucleotide alphabet, and between them the genes direct the physical development and behavior of the organism. A set of genes acting together are like a recipe or instruction book, providing the information that a living organism needs so it can build or do something - like making an eye or a leg, or repairing a wound.
