Question

Which flow chart correctly organizes the structures of heredity, from least to most complex?
codon ® gene ® DNA ® chromosome
gene ® chromosome ® codon ® DNA
DNA ® codon ® chromosome ® gene
chromosome ® DNA ® gene ® codon

Answer 1

I think it should be codon, gene, DNA, and then chromosome.
codon = 3 nucleotides codes for 1 amino acid (e.g: ATG (Methionine=start codon)
gene= genes are made of codons
DNA= basically DNA is an inheritable trait that you get from your parents.
chromosomes= made of genes from your parents that can be passed on. (23 pairs of chromosomes from mom and dad)

Answer 2

Which best describes a gene?
different allele forms of a trait
tightly coiled strands of DNA
the center of a chromosome
a segment of chromosomal DNA

Answer 3

The statement that best describes a gene is that it is a "different allele that forms of a trait"
