Por que é masculine?

Gen is masculine in Spanish. While it does derive from Latin "genus" (neuter), the masculine assignment in Spanish is primarily due to the -en ending, which typically marks masculine nouns in Spanish (e.g., "joven", "orden"). However, the word "gen" is relatively uncommon in standard Spanish and primarily appears in technical/scientific contexts as a prefix or in informal usage. The gender assignment follows the pattern of -en ending nouns rather than being a exceptional case.
