Heredity carriers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genes

'heredity carriers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for genes that I've seen before include "Units of DNA" , "Factors governing heredity, carried by chromosome" , "Units of heredity" , "Biological factors controlling heredity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Newsday, the USA Today and the New York Times.
