A gene is a segment of DNA containing the code used to synthesize a protein. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Every human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene. Some traits are caused by abnormal genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new mutation.
Human beings have about 25,000 genes. Researchers have discovered what some of our genes do and have found some that are associated with disorders (such as cystic fibrosis or Huntingtonâs disease). There are, though, many genes whose functions are still unknown.
