... A gene is a segment of DNA that tells the cell how to make a particular polypeptide. The location of a gene on a chromosome is called a locus. A gene has the same locus on both chromosomes in a pair of homologous chromosomes. In genetics, scientists often focus on a single gene or set of genes. Geno ...
