Each DNA double helix is divided into a certain number of genes, marked by a specific start sequence-- sort of like chapters in a book. One whole piece of DNA is referred to as a "chromosome." Humans have 2 sets of 23 of these, for a total of 46. Although estimates vary, there are between 20,000 and 100,000 genes in the entire human "genome."

How are genes are protein related?
Genes are made up of DNA. DNA have codes to form proteins
What are the two common names for the structure of DNA?
Genes and chorosomes
What structure are genes found?
Chromosomes in the nucleus contain genes. DNA contains the information that we call a gene. A gene is a region of DNA on a chromosome that contains the information needed by the cells ribosomes to create a protein.
What is the name of the structure in the nucleus on which genes are carried?
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid or DNA
What best describes the way that genes chromosomes and DNA are related?
your mother
Structure that contains genes?
DNA
What is the structure in DNA?
A DNA structure is basically what genes are meant to be the dna model stands for deoxribosenuleic acid
What is the chemical structure in the human genes?
DNA
How are genes are protein related?
Genes are made up of DNA. DNA have codes to form proteins
What structure determines hereditary traits?
Chromosomes (genes, DNA).
What are the two common names for the structure of DNA?
Genes and chorosomes
How alleles and genes related?
Genes and alleles are related because alleles are inside a gene. Genes are made up by alleles. A gene is DNA. The allele is like piece of DNA inside a gene.
What does non-genetic mean?
Not related to DNA. Genes are what are inherited from your parents, which is why you have similar traits to your parents. Genes are made from DNA.
What are threadlike structures in nucleus of cells that contain genes?
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the structure that contains the genes.
How are DNA the nucleus chromosomes genes and traits related?
its not
Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
How did Watson and crick discover the structure of the DNA?
The discovery of the structure of DNA was a culmative effort. After the discovery that the genes were paired, Watson and Crick suggested the first accurate model of DNA structure in the journal of Nature.
