Gene
A change in the DNA code of an organism that results in a different trait than what is expected is called a mutation. Mutations can be caused by various factors such as environmental influences, errors during DNA replication, or exposure to radiation.
The DNA is the hereditary material that carries the "code" to a cell's activities and structure.
A gene is a portion of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific hereditary trait, such as eye color or blood type. Genes are segments of DNA that encode proteins or RNA molecules that determine an individual's characteristics. Each gene is made up of a specific sequence of nucleotides that can be passed down from parents to offspring.

DNA
A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein or RNA molecule, which determines a particular trait or characteristic. Each gene is located at a specific position on a chromosome in the cell's nucleus.

The unit in the cell into which DNA is divided and packaged is called a chromosome. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of DNA and proteins that carry genetic information. They are located in the cell nucleus.
Each hereditary trait corresponds to a specific gene or set of genes that encode the information for that trait. Genes are segments of DNA that determine specific characteristics, such as eye color or height. These genes are inherited from our parents and are responsible for the variation we see in physical attributes and other traits among individuals.
The hereditary information carrier is called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms. DNA is passed down from parents to offspring.
