Are genes are made up of smaller molecules known as chromosomes?
No, chromosomes are made of genes and DNA. Gene sequences make up DNA, and this DNA is coiled up and makes up chromosomes.
Are protein molecules made up of strands of DNA joined together by amino acid sequences?
No, protein molecules are not made up of strands of DNA joined together. DNA contains the genetic information that codes for the synthesis of proteins. Proteins are made up of amino acids joined together in a specific sequence dictated by the instructions encoded in the DNA molecule.
DNA and RNA are made up of these organic molecules that encodes protein sequences?
it is a nucleic acid :-)
What is the role of DNA in determining and organisms traits?
Yes, the DNA molecule is made up of segments of coding called Genes. Each gene codes to make a different protein or genetic characteristic.
Why would different organisms have many different proteins from one another?
DNA codes for RNA which codes for tRNA anticodons that are attached to the amino acid which will make up the polypeptide chain and ultimately the protein. Basically, DNA is the blueprint that will ultimately decide which proteins will be made. Proteins are made up of sequences of amino acids. If two organisms have similar amino acid sequences, that means that they must have similar DNA that told the cells to make those amino acid sequences.

What are made up of genes?
Genes are made of DNA (or RNA - not in humans). They are sequences that encode for a functional product (usually a protein). Chromosomes contain genes.

. The DNA sequences that make up the genetic code of an organism determine which traits the organism will exhibit.?
Instructions coded by DNA sequences are translated into proteins which express an organism's physical traits

Are DNA or RNA made up of genes?
Amost all organisms have genes that are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) but there are some kinds of viruses known as retroviruses whose genes are composed of RNA (ribonucleic acid).

Yes, the DNA molecule is made up of segments of coding called Genes. Each gene codes to make a different protein or genetic characteristic.
Is DNA a single blueprint for the building of a house or like a book of blueprints?
Well, since DNA is made up of more than one part (there are four different nucleotides that make up DNA), and each strand of DNA is sequenced differently throughout each cell in the human body, I would say that it is more like a book of blueprints. DNA sequences in a cell's nucleus set out the cell's structure and function. Different sequences in different cells mean that each cell will have a specific function within the body.
What two things make up a chromosome?
Chromosomes are comprised of nucleotides and nitrogen base pairs. The nucleotides make up the columns of the DNA structure, and are repeating sequences of a 5-carbon sugar and a phosphate. The "rungs" of the DNA structure, similar to the rungs (steps) of a ladder, and made up of four variations of nitrogen base pairs.
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.
