Step-by-step explanation:

1 Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

2 Sometimes, gene variants (also known as mutations) prevent one or more proteins from working properly. By changing a gene's instructions for making a protein, a variant can cause a protein to malfunction or to not be produced at all.
