Step 1

DNA is the genetic material in most living organisms. It is the information hub of the cell that contains instructions for the synthesis of proteins. DNA contains inheritable segments that are called genes that contain instructions for protein synthesis. Alleles are the pair of contrasting characteristics that are responsible for the phenotype of a gene.
