Chromosome theory of inheritance. generalization that genes are located on chromosomes and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization accounts for inheritance patterns, also states that mendelian genes have specific loci, chromosomes undergo segregation and independent assortment.
Traits are the physical manifestation of your genes. Brown hair or blue eyes are examples of traits. Genes, are pieces of DNA which code for proteins, which subsequently result in traits. So, if you have a really long piece of DNA, a gene is a part of that DNA. That part gets 'transcribed' to mRNA, which gets 'translated' into protein. The protein is what is responsible for traits. Alleles are 'flavors' of genes. We all have 46 chromosomes (humans). 23 are from the mother and 23 are from the father.
