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.

What is the name of the series of genes that controls organs and tissues that develop in the embryo?
The series of genes that control the development of organs and tissues in the embryo is known as the Hox genes. These genes play a crucial role in determining the body plan and the positioning of body parts during embryonic development.
Does the size of the ball effect how fast it rolls?
The size of a ball does affect how fast it rolls. Surface also play a major role in how fast a ball will move.
What name is given to genes that regulate the genes involved in determining patterns of anatomical development?
These genes are called "homeotic genes" or "Hox genes." They play a crucial role in controlling the body plan of an organism during development by regulating the expression of other genes that determine anatomical structures.
Are master genes and homeotic genes the same thing?
Master genes and homeotic genes are related but not the same. Homeotic genes are a specific type of master gene that regulate the development of anatomical structures in organisms, determining the identity of body parts. Master genes generally refer to genes that control the expression of other genes and play crucial roles in regulating developmental processes. Thus, while all homeotic genes are master genes, not all master genes are homeotic genes.
Approximately how many genes do humans has?
Humans have about 20, 000 to 25,000 genes.
