What is the basic unit of chromosomes?
The small unit of chrosomorosomes is called genes.
Do eukaryotes have DNA?
Yes, eukaryotes have DNA.
What molecule provides the code of instructions for the characteristics of an organism?
The portion of a DNA molecule containing the coded instructions is the gene. It is the basic unit of heredity that is passed from a parent to an offspring.
How is the DNA in a prokaryote different from the DNA in a eukaryotes?
DNA in prokaryotic cells is usually circular while DNA in eukaryotes is usually linear. DNA in prokaryotes usually has fewer portions that dont code for something while eukaryotes usually have quite a bit of DNA sections that dont code for anything. The number of actual base pairs (the units that makeup DNA) that makeup eukaryotes is usually quite a bit more than the number in prokaryotic DNA.
What is difference between DNA and genes?
A gene is a section of DNA that will eventually code for a specific protein. All genes are composed of DNA but not all DNA are genes. or It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a polypeptide. or A gene is a segment of DNA that will transcript for a specific protein.
What carries the unit of heredity?
DNA
Are genes the basic units of heredity?
DNA
What is the basic unit of chromosomes?
The small unit of chrosomorosomes is called genes.
Do eukaryotes have DNA?
Yes, eukaryotes have DNA.
What basic units of heredity are a small part of dna molecule located in a chromosomes?
gene
How is the DNA in prokaryotes different from from the DNA in a eukaryotes?
dna in eukaryotes is located in the nucleus
What is meant by the term genetic?
A Genetic disease is caused by an abnormality in an individual's genome. There are several types of genetic inheritance Single, Multi-factoral, Chromosome.
How are gene DNA chromosomes base and condon related?
DNA carries genetic information, the gene is the basic unit of heredity which contains a sequence of nucleotides at a given position on a given chromosome. The paired bases are in the DNA and the codons are words of 3 letters in the genetic code.
What molecule provides the code of instructions for the characteristics of an organism?
The portion of a DNA molecule containing the coded instructions is the gene. It is the basic unit of heredity that is passed from a parent to an offspring.
What are nucleotides the basic unit of?
DNA and RNA
What is the definiton of gene?
nounThe basic physical unit of heredity; a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that provides the coded instructions for synthesis of RNA, which, when translated into protein, leads to the expression of hereditary character.
