DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. It contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA). The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences. DNA bases…
A forensic scientist is trying to find out the number of adenine bases in the DNA sample that he obtained from a crime scene. What can he assume about the number of adenine? O The number of adenine bases will be equal to the number of guanine bases. O The number of adenine bases will be equal to the total of all the other bases. O The number of adenine bases will be equal to the number of thymine bases. O The number of adenine bases will be half of the number of cytosine bases.
Section 1 Genes code for proteins that determine the phenotypes of individuals. Individuals inherit genes from parents. What is the relationship between genes and chromosomes? O Chromosomes are independent of genes. O Chromosomes are present inside genes. O Genes are made up of chromosomes. O Genes are present on chromosomes. Copyright ©2021 Certica Solutions, Inc.
