THE GENES ARE LOCATED ON THE CHROMOSOMES
a GENE IS A SECTION OF A DNA MOLECULE THAT CONTROLS THE DEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS
Genes exist in alternative forms called alleles, which give rise to differences in the inherited characteristics
In human cells the diploid number of cells is 46 and the haploid number is 23
The sex of the person is controlled by one pair of sex hromosomes, XX in females and Xy in males
