GENEDefinition: A gene is a unit of heredity in a living
organism. Gene normally resides on a stretch of DNA that
codes for a type of protein or for an RNA chain which it has a function in the organism.
All living organisms depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains.
Genes hold the information to build and maintain an organism's cells and pass genetic traits to offspring, although some organelles (e.g. mitochondria) are self-replicating and are not coded for by the organism's DNA.
This stylistic diagram shows a gene in relation to the double helix structure of DNA and to a chromosome (right). The chromosome is X-shaped because it is dividing. Introns are regions often found in eukaryote genes that are removed in the splicing process (after the DNA is transcribed into RNA): Only the exons encode the protein. This diagram labels a region of only 50 or so bases as a gene. In reality, most genes are hundreds of times larger.

RNA GENES & GENOME
When proteins are manufactured, the gene is first copied into RNA as an intermediate product. In other cases, the RNA molecules are the actual functional products. For example, RNAs known as ribozymes are capable of enzymatic function, and microRNA has a regulatory role. The DNA sequences from which such RNAs are transcribed are known as RNA genes.
CHROMOSOMEChromosomes is a total complement of genes in an organism or
cell is known as its genome
Genome may be stored on one or more chromosomesThe region of the chromosome at which a particular
gene is located is called its locus. A chromosome consists of a single, very long DNA helix
on which thousands of genes are encoded. Prokaryotes—bacteria and archaea— are typically store
their genomes on a single large, circular chromosome sometimes supplemented by additional small circles of
DNA called plasmids, which usually encode only a few genes and are easily transferable between individuals
CHROMOSOME NUMBEROne cell of cattle include: 30 pair of chromosome (homolog), pig : 20 pair., sheep: 27 pair, goat: 30 pair poultry) : 39 pair

Principle of Animal Breeding
According to the theory of Mendelian inheritance, variations in phenotype—the observable physical and behavioral characteristics of an organism—are due to variations in genotype, or the organism's particular set of genes, each of which specifies a particular trait. Different forms of a gene, which may give rise to different phenotypes, are known as alleles.
MUTATIONMutations propagated to the next generation lead
to variations within a species' population. Variants of a single gene are known as alleles,
and differences in alleles may give rise to differences in traits.
Although it is rare for the variants in a single gene to have clearly distinguishable phenotypic effects, certain well-defined traits are in fact controlled by single genetic loci.
A gene's most common allele is called the wild type allele, and rare alleles are called mutants. However, this does not imply that the wild-type allele is the ancestor from which the mutants are descended.
