Scientists describe the set of information for each form trait as a gene.

Here's why:

* Genes are the fundamental units of heredity. They are responsible for passing on traits from parents to offspring.

* Each gene contains a specific sequence of DNA that provides instructions for building a particular protein or performing a specific function.

* These proteins or functions contribute to the development of traits, such as eye color, hair color, or height.

Therefore, the information for each form trait is encoded within a gene.
