DNA carries the genetic code for all of the traits possessed by an organism. DNA code is used to make proteins in the ribosomes. Above is a model of DNA. Your lab partner is confused about what the model is showing. How would you explain is to him? Select
ALL that apply.
A)
Chromosomes (D) are small segments
DNA (A) that code for one protein.
B)
DNA (A) is the genetic material found in the nucleus (C) of all cells (B).
C)
Genes (E) are small segments of DNA (A) on a chromosome (D) that code
for one protein.
At division, DNA (A) shortens and condenses into discrete segments of DNA
called chromosomes (D).
D)
E)
DNA (A) is made of chromosomes (E) that are organized into genes (D) in
the nucleus (C) of the cell.
