Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a very long nucleic acid biopolymer containing the genetic instructions used by nature in the development and functioning of all known living organisms, with the exception of RNA viruses.
The DNA segments carrying a specific genetic information, for example the information needed for the synthesis of a protein or of an RNA strand, are called genes.
Set of genes and structural sequences coding a phenotype characteristics, like hair color or blood type in human beings, are called alleles. Alleles composed by a single gene exist, as alleles formed by quite a number of genes. For example the allele related to skin color in human beings is formed by several genes, while the allele related to the eye color is composed by a single gene. This is why frequently the skin color of a person is intermediate between those of the parents, having the child inherited some genes of the corresponding allele from one parts, other from the other parent. On the contrary, intermediate eye color does not exist: the corresponding gene is either inherited from one parent or from the other.
