A gene is a locus (or region) of DNA that encodes a functional RNA or protein product, and is the molecular unit of heredity. The transmission of genes to an organism's offspring is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic traits. Most biological traits are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as the gene–environment interactions. Some genetic traits are instantly visible, such as eye colour or number of limbs, and some are not, such as blood type, risk for specific diseases, or the thousands of basic biochemical processes that comprise life.
Genes can acquire mutations in their sequence, leading to different variants, known as alleles, in the population. These alleles encode slightly different versions of a protein, which cause different phenotype traits. Colloquial usage of the term "having a gene" (e.g., "good genes," "hair colour gene") typically refers to having a different allele of the gene. Genes evolve due to natural selection or survival of the fittest of the alleles.

Genres: Drama,The police will never find you
I've got a message here for you
Because you hurt me too much
Your face is my canvas
A Stanley my brush
You won't forget me in a rush
Do you have someone with you
Because you'll never know when
Your face will be paper
A Stanley my pen
You'll never see that girl again
I've been down for too long
But is power so wrong?
The balance is slowly moving
I now know where you belong
Soon you'll be gone
The police will never find you
Here's a note and a forecast
Because you hurt me too much
Those kneecaps look tender
Is a hammer enough
You won't forget me in a rush
I've been down for too long
But is power so wrong?
The balance is slowly shifting
I know where you belong
Soon you'll be gone
The police will never find you
I've been under too long
But my intent is strong
The balance is slowly moving
I know where you reside
I know where you hide
