The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary unit of an organism. It consists of purines and pyrimidines namely adenine (A),  guanine (G),  cytosine (C) and  thymine (T). The genes consist of DNA that are passed on from parents to their progeny. The different form of a gene is called allele. The expression of alleles leads to phenotypic variations in a population.
