Question

What is the relationship among chromosomes, genes, and DNA?

A. Genes read the DNA code found on chromosomes. Chromosomes are long tightly wound strands of DNA.

B. Genes are made up of tightly wound strands of DNA. Chromosomes are made up of one or more genes.

C. Genes are sections of DNA and are found on chromosomes. Chromosomes are long, tightly wound strands of DNA.

D. DNA reads the nucleotide sequences found in genes. Genes are located on tightly wound structures called chromosomes.

Answer 1

C: Genes are sections of DNA, which make up chromosomes. Chromosomes are packed DNA molecules.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be option C.

Genes are defined as the protein coding sequences of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

They control the characteristics of an individual.

A number of genes are present on the chromosome.

Chromosome refers to the condensed form of the DNA which carry genetic information in the form of genes.

The DNA is packaged in the form of thread-like structure which is termed as a chromosome.
