Describe the relationship between DNA, chromosomes, and genes,

Biology
1 answer:
damaskus [11]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

A chromosome is a structure that is made of a chemical known as deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA as well as protein. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells. Chromosomes contain many genes.

A gene is a molecular unit of heredity. Each gene codes for a polypeptide, which becomes a protein that performs a function in a living thing. The DNA molecules are very long and in order to fit inside the nucleus of a cell, they are highly coiled and condensed. During sexual reproduction, one haploid set of chromosomes is given to the offspring from each parent, forming a diploid amount of chromosomes in the offspring.

Since chromosomes contain all of our genes, an organism that reproduces sexually gets a combination of genes from both parents. Genes that are expressed produce an organism's phenotype.

Hypothesize one way that a diploid organism could have offspring that are 3n or 4n
gladu [14]
Diploid refers to a cell that has two copies of each chromosome. One way that a diploid organism could have an offspring that are 3n (triploid) or 4n is when the chromosomes don't separate during meiosis.

Triploid refers to some cell that have 3 copies of each chromosomes for a total of 69 chromosomes.
