NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genes are found on tiny spaghetti-like structures called chromosomes (say: KRO-moh-somes). And chromosomes are found inside cells. Your body is made of billions of cells. Cells are the very small units that make up all living things.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genes are found in every one of the 37 trillion cells that make up our body. To define what a gene is, let’s look closer at one of those cells. Every cell has a nucleus and inside every nucleus are chromosomes and all chromosomes are made of DNA, molecules that contain genetic information called genes.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -The genome is made of a chemical called DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid and is organised in chromosomes, which contain genes.
