Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person’s genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genes are small sections of DNA within the genome that code for proteins. They contain the instructions for our individual characteristics – like eye and hair colour.
Detailed explanation-3: -A chromosome contains many genes. A gene is a segment of DNA that provides the code to construct a protein.
Detailed explanation-4: -The information to make proteins is stored in an organism’s DNA. Each protein is coded for by a specific section of DNA called a gene.
