Genes:
- Genes are a set of instructions that determine what the organism is like, its appearance, how it survives, and how it behaves in its environment.
- Genes are present in the chromosomes of cell's nucleus.
- Chromosome is a structure that is made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and proteins called histones. These structures look like threads.
Discovery of genes on chromosomes: Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri gave the chromosomal theory of inheritance and stated that genes are present in specific locations on chromosomes.
