Brief Explanations

To solve this, we match each term with its definition:

  • "A gene" is defined as a segment of DNA that is the basic unit of heredity and transferred from parent to offspring.
  • "A chromosome" is a cell structure made of DNA with master cell instructions.
  • "Heredity" is the process of passing characteristics from parent to offspring.
  • "Genetics" is the study of genes/heredity (not matching the first definition here).
  • "DNA" is the molecule carrying genetic info (not matching the first definition).

So the term for "a segment of DNA that is the basic unit of heredity..." is "A gene".
