Genes have four main structural parts - the promoter, introns, exons and the termination site (or recognition site for Rho protein). They are all very important (since exons contain the code for creating products, these could be called more important than introns - although it is believed introns still have an important role).
Genes are how you get your own physical characteristics. They are the fundamental unit of heredity. Genes are found on chromosomes made of DNA. Different genes determine different characteristics, or traits, of an organism.

What are the cells basic units?
Some of your characteristics are decided by a single pairof genes. For example, there is one pair of genes which decides whether or not you will have dimples when you smile! However most of your characteristics are the result of several different genes working together. For example, your hair and eye colour are both the result of several different genes.

What is different in phenotypes of an individual from those in the same species?
Phenotypes are the characteristics of the genes that are most dominant, and can represent themselves. Species have many different genes for example, you dont have the exact same genes as your best friend, and thus, producing different phenotypes which is why you look different... However, you do have may similar genes that make you part of that species.
What was the most significant conclusion that Gregor Mendel drew from his experiments with pea plants?
That inheritance of characteristics are particulate, independently assorted and segregated.
Why aren't somatic mutations passed on to the next generation?
most genes mutations are recessive, and since most organisms have two of every genes, the normal genes will dominate the recessive genes.

How does the order of genes in one member of the chromosome compare to the order of genes on the other chromosome?
Most homologous pairs look alike. They carry genes for the same characteristics and line up on the chromosome in the same order!

Do only some of the genes located on the X chromosome control female sexual characteristics?
The X and Y chromosomes determine the sex of the individual, but most of the genes are not directly involved in that.
