vacuole

nucleus

DNA-found in all cells

packed tightly within chromosomes within the nucleus
a segment of DNA code for traits-we call it genes

Who Discovered DNA?

Watson and Crick's discovery
the two-strand DNA, double helix
DNA-the molecule containing human genes was discovered in 1953

Multiple Select

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

DNA are made of proteins.

Chromosomes are made of DNA.

Genes are segments of DNA.

Genes contains code for a specific protein.

Multiple Choice

DNA molecule is made of
