A common explanation is that gene is the “basic unit of heredity” which is kind of a useless definition.

A chromosome is a condensed (tightly packed) amount of DNA. A gene is a region of DNA that codes for a protein. These proteins determines your traits.

When a gene is active the protein is transcribed through the the central dogma (dna —> rna —> protein) that protein acts in a signaling pathway that will lead to a specific trait.

Answer:

Bar and lexical.

Explanation:

Bar and lexical are the name of two different types of scales that are found on maps. Bar scales are used more frequently in the maps because they represent or show the distance ratio visually instead of in words, while on the other hand, lexical scales may be expressed in words, as a ratio, or as a fraction. Examples are 1:10,000 or 1/10,000. Using map scales is very important in the real world if you want to find out the distance you are traveling.
