Genes are included in the process of passing of traits from parents (and/or ancestors) to their offspring. This process is called "heredity" by which an offspring acquires (or becomes predisposed to) the characteristics of its parents. Through heredity, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause some species to evolve. So in one sentence: the genes carry traits of a particular species.

The mother's genetic code is in the egg, the father's is in the sperm - they each supply half and that is found in their DNA.
