Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Gene

For EXPLANATION: The factors hypothesized by Mendel ENCODE for traits that are expressed. These are now called genes. Genes are fragments of DNA that code for a functional PROTEIN. In eukaryotes, genes are composed of two elements namely, exons and INTRONS. Exons code for an mRNA transcript, while the introns are non-coding elements and are removed out by a spliceosomal complex.
