  • DNA Structure: Chromosomes are primarily made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). This molecule is organized into a double helix structure, which is essential for its function in storing genetic information.
  • Genetic Information: Within the DNA, genetic information is encoded in segments known as genes. Each gene contains the instructions necessary for the synthesis of proteins, which perform various functions in the body.

  • Functionality: Genes determine traits and characteristics by guiding the development and functioning of an organism.
  • Inheritance: Genes are passed from parents to offspring, making them fundamental to the study of heredity and evolution.
