What is the smallest unit of inheritance?
Heredity is the passing of traits to offspring (from its parent or ancestors).That being said, the smallest unit of Heredity is a gene, because a gene is the smallest unit capable of conveying a genetic message. Technically the smallest unit of heredity is a cistron, but that's essentially the same as a gene.I would have said a nucleotide, but a single nucleotide can't convey a hereditary message.
What is the smallest unit made up of?
Units of measurement aren't made up of anything. The smallest unit of measurement is the Plank unit - 10^-35m. The smallest sub atomic particle is a Neutrino, and it is made up of, a Neutrino!
