I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'single' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'quantity of dna that i'm allocated?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'quantity' could be 'generation' (generation is a kind of quantity) and 'generation' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'my' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
