Answer

  • 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.

Importance of Genes

  • 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.
