Genes, or genetic material, are basically instructions encoded in DNA for building cells in an organism. Genes code for many different traits like blood type, hair color, and skin color. Scientists frequently debate the role of genetics in behavioral traits, the nature vs. nurture argument. Currently it is unknown to what extent genes code for things like violence or altruism.
