Answer:
In cells, chromosomes transport DNA. Your human anatomy is created and maintained by your DNA. Genes are sections of your DNA that give you the physical traits that set you apart from others.
Explanation:
- Our individual genetic information is found in the lengthy molecule known as DNA. It contains the directions for generating every protein in our bodies, much like a recipe book. DNA is made up of two strands that intertwine to produce a double helix shape that resembles a spiral staircase. Four fundamental building units, or "bases," make up each strand of DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
- Genes are segments of DNA that hold the instructions needed to create a single, usually protein-producing, molecule in your body.
- Nearly every cell in our body contains chromosomes, which are bundles of DNA that have been tightly wound. 46 chromosomes can be found in a human's somatic (non-reproductive) cell.
