Autry or Hackman? (4)
I believe the answer is:
gene
This clue is a double definition.
'autry' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'hackman?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for gene that I've seen before include "Something got from parent < for boy" , "Biological factor determining heredity" , "Vincent" , "Basic unit of heredity" , "Element of heredity" .)
