Solution

A specific sequence of nucleotides on a chromosome constitutes a gene.

Explanation:

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity made up of a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides. This unique sequence contains the precise instructions required to build a functional molecule, typically a protein or an RNA molecule. These instructions ultimately dictate specific traits and biological functions within a living organism.
