A specific section of DNA that determines a trait is called a?

Answer 1

DNA codes for a certain trait are found in cells. There are more than 100 trillion cells and each one has the WHOLE code for a human. In each cell is a nuclei and in that there are 46 genes. 23 from your mother and 23 for your father. In these are the DNA codes. DNA looks like a ladder that has been bent around a few times. The things that look like the steps is the code. Some are the same but others are different.

Answer 2

genes are short lengths of DNA in chromosomes.DNA is made up of :

1.deoxyribose sugar.

2.phosphate group

3.nitrogenous base.

now these bases are of 4 types and their pairing is specific:

Adenine-Thymine , Cytosine-Guanine

the genetic information(ie the trait) is nothing but this base sequence of DNA in a linear order.

genes are a part of DNA comprising the base sequence. and this base sequence specifies a trait.

Answer 3

A section of chromosomes that codes for a trait can be called an gene. A human being has 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair sex chromosomes.

Answer 4

gene
