Describe the relationship between DNA, chromosomes, and genes,

Biology
1 answer:
damaskus [11]3 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.

MArishka [77]
The independent variable is the variable that is controlled by you, and the dependent variable is the variable that changes AS A RESULT of the changes you made to the independent variable.

In this case, Joan is controlling the gender, thereby changing the ability to empathize.

Therefore, the independent variable is gender and the dependent variable is the ability to empathize.
