Your answer

Answer 1

A gene is a section of a double-stranded molecule known as DNA. This molecule is found within the nucleus of the cell, contained in threadlike structures called chromatin. The two strands form a double helix linked by a series of paired bases. The base adenine is always linked to thymine and the base cytosine is always linked to guanine.
