Question

Genes _____.

A. are specific nucleotide sequences
B. occur in numbers that are the same as the number of chromosomes
C. are located in a specific place on a chromosome
D. determine the traits of an organism
E.
are units of RNA

Answer 1

The correct option is D. Genes determine the trait of an organism.

Explanation:

Option D is correct because genes can be described as the hereditary molecules that determine the characteristics of a person.

Option A is false because each gene is made up of different nucleotide sequences.

Option B is false because genes do not occur as the same number of chromosomes. Rather, there are many genes present on a single chromosome.

Option C is false because all genes are not located in a specific location. Each gene has its specific location on the chromosome which is known as its locus.

Option E is false because genes are not units of RNA. Genes are made up of DNA.

Answer 2

The correct answers are option A. "are specific nucleotide sequences", C. "are located in a specific place on a chromosome", and D. "determine the traits of an organism".

Step-by-step explanation:

Genes are specific nucleotide sequences comprised of DNA that are translated into bioactive elements such as proteins. Genes are located at specific places on a chromosome, and a chromosome can contain hundreds to thousands of genes. Genes determine the traits of an organism, which are often the result of the action of more than one gene.
