What Are Genes?

The video tutorial explores the concept of genetic traits, explaining how physical characteristics like eye color and hair color are determined by genetics. It delves into the role of genes and alleles in trait inheritance, highlighting the difference between single-gene traits and those influenced by multiple genes. The tutorial also discusses the concepts of dominant and recessive alleles, using earlobe attachment as an example. Finally, it introduces the genome, the complete set of genetic material in an organism, and its significance in heredity.
