2. Concept of a Gene Mendelian genetics: A unit of inheritance that usually is directly responsible for one trait or character Moden molecular biology: Specific segments of DNA that control cell structure and function; the functional units of inheritance. Sequence of DNA bases usually code for a polypeptide sequence of amino acids.
