A segment of DNA is called a gene. All an organism's biological traits are the result of gene coding. Though it was once thought that one gene codes for one trait, it is now understood that a gene may code for more than one trait, and genes may work with other genes to produce a trait. It is also known that genes may be turned on or off, but much more study is needed to understand genes completely. Much of the knowledge we have about genes today is the result of the Human Genome Project.

A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a?
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene, or an exon.
When DNA is coiled and folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
When DNA is twisted it is called a double helix and when DNA is coiled folded and twisted into short consended strands it is called alpha halix
At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
chromosome.
What is the Thread like strand made of DNA called?
Chromatin. The proteins are histones, used to organize and compact the DNA.
What are structure the contain DNA called?
Chromosome
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a?
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene, or an exon.
What is a segment with information to make a protein?
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls the production of a protein is called a gene. Chromosome a cellular structure that contains DNA.
What is a short thick coil of DNA?
A chromosome is a short thick coil of DNA. A chromosome consists of two genetically identical halves called chromatids.
What is the shorter segment of a chromosome?
Just a DNA strand
A segment of DNA found on a chromosome that codes for a protein?
a gene
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
What does a chromosome contain?
A chromosome is a part of DNA that consists of a long arm and a short arm connected at the center called the Centromere.
When DNA is coiled and folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
When DNA is twisted it is called a double helix and when DNA is coiled folded and twisted into short consended strands it is called alpha halix
At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
chromosome.
Is a gene all of an organisms DNA or only a segment of DNA?
A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.
Is a gene all of an organism's DNA or only a segment of DNA?
A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.
