A gene is a genetic unit of inheritance that consists of a segment of DNA that encodes for a functional RNA or a messenger RNA that is used to make proteins. All of the genes together make us the organism's genome and direct organismal phenotypes. Genes can be located in three distinct places in eukaryotic cells. The vast majority of genes are found in the chromosomes within the nucleus.<unk>  location A<unk>  is a gene where the DNA is located in the cell nucleus of a eukaryote. The term is used to distinguish<unk> s from the genes that are localized in one of two organelles, either the mitochondrion, or in case of plants and algae, the chloroplast. Most eukaryotic organisms are either diploid with two sets of<unk>  autosomal (non-sex linked) chromosomes in each nucleus.
