英文词源

gene (n.)
1911, from German Gen, coined 1905 by Danish scientist Wilhelm Ludvig Johannsen (1857-1927), from Greek genea "generation, race," from PIE root *gene- (see genus). De Vries had earlier called them pangenes. Gene pool is attested from 1946.

中文解释

音译“基因”,指生物的遗传物质。中文的“基”为“基本、根基、基础”,“因”为“缘由”,连在一起就是“你的最基本的东西是怎么来的”,音义大和谐,巧夺天工。
