Agene may be described as
a sequence of amino acids
a sequence of bases on the dna that codes for a trait
a sequence of nucleotides that codes for sugars
a sequence of proteins produced by the rna

The correct answer for the fill in the blank is - A sequence of bases on the DNA that codes for a trait.

Gene is described as a segment of DNA ( dexoyribonucleic acid) that codes for a particular protein, which in turn corresponds to a trait/ characteristic of the living organism.

Gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA) through a process called transcription. mRNA is then converted into protein through a process called translation.

The protein thus formed corresponds to a particular trait ( like eye color, hair color).
