Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The genetic instructions are found in ____ within the DNA
A
traits
B
chromosomes
C
genes
D
DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sequence of DNA strands is arranged into chromosomes, most of which contain the instructions to build a protein. The sequence of DNA bases is arranged into genes, most of which contain the instructions to build a protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The genome is the entire set of genetic instructions found in a cell. In humans, the genome consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes, found in the nucleus, as well as a small chromosome found in the cells’ mitochondria. Each set of 23 chromosomes contains approximately 3.1 billion bases of DNA sequence.

Detailed explanation-3: -These instructions are stored inside each of your cells, distributed among 46 long structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of thousands of shorter segments of DNA, called genes. Each gene stores the directions for making protein fragments, whole proteins, or multiple specific proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your genome is inherited from your parents, half from your mother and half from your father. The gametes are formed during a process called meiosis. Like your genome, each gamete is unique, which explains why siblings from the same parents do not look the same.
