Solution
The basic functional unit of heredity are called
genes. They are also the structural unit of heredity. They are located on chromosomes
and their locations are called loci (singular-locus). Genes could be the
sequence of DNA in some organisms and those of RNA in some others. Transcriptionally
active genes usually code for proteins that have specific functions.
