36 CardsLesson#1
Let's explore the fundamentals of inheritance. Inside the nucleus of your cells are structures called chromosomes, which carry all of your genetic information. Chromosomes are made of a very long and complex molecule called DNA.
Quiz#2
What molecule are chromosomes made of?
DNA
Lesson#3
Think of DNA as a huge instruction manual. A specific section of this manual that holds the instructions for one particular characteristic is called a gene. So, a gene is a specific length of DNA.
Quiz#4
What is the term for a specific length of DNA that contains genetic information?
a gene
Lesson#5
The primary job of a gene is to hold the code for making a specific protein. These proteins then go on to build our bodies and control chemical reactions, giving us our traits.
Quiz#6
What does a gene contain the code to make?
a protein
