Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genes are the units of hereditary information, which are short segments of DNA that help cells to reproduce themselves and to assemble proteins. Chromosomes are made up of long chains of DNA and contain many genes. RNA is also involved in protein synthesis, but it is not the primary unit of hereditary information. Ribosomes are cellular structures involved in protein synthesis but do not carry genetic information.
