Understand that DNA is composed of various segments, each with specific functions in the cell.
Recognize that a 'gene' is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions to make a specific protein or functional RNA molecule.
Differentiate a gene from other DNA regions such as the promoter (which regulates gene expression but does not code for protein), the centromere (a structural part of a chromosome), and the chromosome itself (which is a large DNA molecule containing many genes).
Recall that the fundamental unit of heredity responsible for coding proteins is called a gene.
Conclude that the term describing a DNA segment that codes for a protein is 'gene'.
