C. your ribosomes
D. your chromosomes

What is the shape of DNA called?
A. nucleotide
B. double helix
C. chromosome
D. ribonucleic acid

What is the relationship between a chromosome and DNA?
A. Chromosomes are made of DNA.
B. DNA is made of chromosomes.
C. DNA manufactures chromosomes.
D. Chromosomes manufacture DNA.

What do parents pass on to their offspring?
A. genes
B. double helix
C. nucleotides
D. ribosomes

Answer 1

Answer: 1) The correct option is D. Your Chromosomes. Genes are the segments of DNA that are present on the chromosomes and correspond to specific trait of the organism ( like genes for eye color).

2) The correct option is B) Double helix. DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of the living organisms. It is made up of two strands of nucleotides, which are complementary to each other and give a shape of double helical structure.

3) The correct option is A) Chromosomes are made of DNA. Chromosomes are the thread like structures, which are made up of DNA. These structures possess essential information of the organism in the form of genes that are found on them.

4) The correct option is A) Genes. Genes are the segments of DNA that code fro a specific protein, which corresponds to a particular trait of the organism. They are passed from parents to their offsprings. Therefore, specific traits ( like eye color) are inherited by the offsprings from their parents.

Answer 2

1.) A persons genes are found in their chromosomes. The correct answer is D, your chromosomes. The correct answer is D.

2.) The shape of DNA is called a double helix. The strands run opposite each other and twist together. The correct answer is B.

3.) The relationship between a chromosome and DNA is that chromosomes are made of DNA. The correct answer is A.

4.) One thing that parents pass on to their offspring is genes. For example, hair color, eye color, skin color. The correct answer is A.
