Answer: A segment of dna/chromosome containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

Explanation:

CHROMOSOMES are made up of two threads called chromatids joined at a point called the centromere.

In the chemical nature of chromosomes, each is made up of a protein framework which has a long molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) coiled round it. A segment of DNA containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

The GENES in the cell of a diploid organism contain all the necessary instructions for building up the organism.These instructions are written on a molecular scale.. Most genes contain information to direct the synthesis of specific proteins. Each such protein takes part in the development of a particular character.

A protein is made up of one or more chains of amino acids known as polypeptides. The sequence of bases in a DNA molecule determines the type of amino acid and the sequence in which they are arranged in a polypeptide chain.

A gene therefore is a sequence of triplets of the four bases which specifies the structure of a protein

Once a cell enters mitosis, the molecules that activate division must be turned off. what happens to mpf during mitosis? it is c
posledela
I think what happens is that the Cyclin component of the MPF is degraded.  MPF or mitosis promoting factor, consists of two important cell cycle regulatory protein called the cyclin and cyclin dependent kinases (CDK). The cdk and the cyclins are the major control switches for the cell cycle, causing the cell to move from G1 to S or G2 to M.
