A piece of DNA that holds information for a trait is called a gene. Genes are segments of DNA that encode instructions for building proteins, which in turn influence the development and expression of specific traits in an organism. Each gene can vary in sequence, leading to different versions or alleles that contribute to the diversity of traits observed within a population.
a section of DNA has information about a specific trait of an organism is called what?
DNA
False. A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome, not the specific part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait.
The DNA code for one hereditary trait is called a gene.
A piece of DNA which controls a trait is a gene variations of a gene are called alleles. If you mean "controls how much a particular trait is expressed" then you would be dealiung with the promoter region of a gene which is near the start and controls how strongly a gene is expressed.
a section of DNA has information about a specific trait of an organism is called what?
DNA.
genes
In cells they are in DNA. In virus they are in DNA or RNA
A chromosome.A hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.For apex it's "A piece of a chromosome."
DNA
The chromatin
The nucleus is the organelle that holds genetic information in the form of DNA. DNA is tightly packed into structures called chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
The nucleus is the organelle that holds genetic information in the form of DNA in eukaryotic cells. DNA is stored within the nucleus and is essential for controlling cellular functions and heredity.
In the nucleus it also holds the DNA
The genes in the DNA instruct the cell to synthesize proteins
