Answer 1

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Deoxyribosenucleic acid, commonly called DNA is the stored form of genetic material in living cells. It contains the information needed by an organism to survive. A segment of the DNA that encodes the necessary information needed to produce a particular protein that determines a trait is called GENE.

The DNA consists of long polynucleotide chains, hence, due to Its length, it cannot git into the cell. The cell then devises a means by wrapping the long strands of DNA around certain proteins called HISTONES. This initially forms a NUCLEOSOME structure, then continuous wrapping around histones and condensation forms the visible CHROMOSOME structure.

Now, the CHROMOSOME contains the DNA molecule, which contains protein-coding segments called GENES. The information contained on the gene is used to produce a protein that is responsible for a particular TRAIT in the organism.
