According to Merriam Webster, a gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that is the functional unit of inheritance controlling the transmission and expression of one or more traits by specifying the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein or controlling the function of other genetic material.

Genes are the sections of DNA that code for a functional product, such as a protein. The environment and an organism's genes interact to produce traits.
