What percent of the DNA in your chromosomes functions as genes?
Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes in one very long strand of DNA. The DNA is coiled around proteins called histones. The DNA seems to form a bigger (of course on a very tiny level) part of the chromosome than the histones. Since DNA is comprised of genes, that means that over half of the chromosome is genes. The exact amount would depend on the chromosome.
What are made up of genes?
Genes are made up of DNA, which contains the instructions for building and controlling an organism's development and functioning. Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or characteristics. Changes in genes can lead to variations in traits among individuals.
How are genes and DNA related?
DNA is desoxyribose nucleic acid. DNA carries the genetic code that determines the characteristics of a living thing. Genes are related to DNA because they are short sections of DNA that code for specific proteins.
Are genes made up of DNA?
Yes, genes are made up of DNA. Genes are specific sequences of DNA that provide the instructions for producing proteins, which are essential for various functions in the body. DNA is the genetic material that carries hereditary information in cells.
What structures contain the genes for the traits?
Genes for traits are contained within the chromosomes, which are found in the cell's nucleus. Each gene is a segment of DNA that encodes a specific trait or characteristic. Genes are passed down from parents to offspring during reproduction.
What percent of DNA make up genes?
20% because im a scientist and i know k.thanks ;)
Is DNA tied to genes?
Well, yes and no. The genes are not tied to the DNA; they are tied to chromosomes, which make up DNA, in the nucleolus of the cell.
What molecules make up genes?
ur genes come from ur parents' genes
Are genes are made up of smaller molecules known as chromosomes?
Genes are segments of DNA, not smaller molecules like chromosomes. Chromosomes are long chains of DNA that contain multiple genes. Genes are specific sequences of DNA that encode information for making proteins, while chromosomes are structures that help organize and package the DNA in the cell.
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
How are genes are protein related?
Genes are made up of DNA. DNA have codes to form proteins
Where is a gene locted?
A gene is a segement of DNA that codes for a particular trait. DNA, and the genes that make up it, are found in the nucleus.

How is DNA like the alphabet?
DNA could be compared to the alphabet in that different combinations of genes in DNA all together make up an entire person. Similarly, all the letters in the alphabet make up our entire language.
Is it the gene that contains the DNA or the DNA that contains the gene?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA is made up of genes.
