Jeni

Picha halisi ya padri Gregor Mendel, baba wa jenetikia.

Jeni (kwa Kiingereza "gene", kutoka Kigiriki γόνος, gonos, yaani uzao) ni mahali pa DNA. DNA ni mkusanyiko wa taarifa za kemikali ambazo hubeba maelekezo kwa ajili ya kutengeneza protini kwenye seli.

Kila jeni ina seti moja ya maelekezo. Maelekezo haya kawaida msimbo ya protini fulani.

Wanadamu wana jeni takribani 27,000. Nusu ya jeni ya mtu huja kutoka kwa mama. Nusu nyingine kuja kutoka kwa baba.
