What else can I help you with?
How did Avery help our understanding of genetics?
He showed that DNA is a Transforming factor.
Are genes in DNA or are DNA in geans?
genes are in DNA
What 2 substances do chromosomes consist of?
DNA and idk the other one or are you looking for chromosomes are composed of two chromatids held together by a centromere
What are segments of DNA that control specific traits?
Segments of DNA that control specific traits are called genes. Genes are sections of DNA that contain the instructions for making specific proteins, which are essential in determining an organism's traits or characteristics. The expression of genes is regulated by various factors and processes within cells.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes are structures made of DNA that carry genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins. DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic information needed for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms.
How much of your DNA contains genes?
20.3% of your DNA contains genes
Do all the nucleotides in human DNA belong to genes?
No - genes are the parts of DNA that code for a functional product (such as a protein). There are other parts of the DNA which are not genes.
How is the function of the organisms relate to the genes in their cells?
Genes are relatively small sections of DNA which encode (provide a template for) proteins. Chromosomes are molecules that consist of very long strand of DNA coiled many times, & a few proteins called histones which hold the whole structure together.
What are the basic units for the transmission of all hereditary traits?
Genes are the basic units for the transmission of all hereditary traits. Genes are segments of DNA that contain instructions for building proteins, which ultimately determine an organism's traits. These genes are passed from parents to offspring through the process of reproduction.
Is genetics DNA?
No, DNA is the substance from which genes are made. Genetics is the study of genes and their expression.
Are DNA and genes the same thing?
No, DNA and genes are not the same thing. DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information, while genes are specific segments of DNA that code for specific traits or characteristics.
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.
