Answered by GPT 3.5
The part of the chromosome that contains a person's characteristics is the DNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms. It is located within the chromosomes, specifically in the form of genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for building and maintaining the body's proteins, which ultimately determine a person's physical and biological traits.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Yes, genes are the specific segments of DNA that contain the instructions for building and maintaining the body's proteins, and they are responsible for the expression of a person's characteristics. Each gene carries the genetic information for a particular trait or characteristic, such as eye color, hair type, or height. By controlling the production of proteins, genes influence the development and functioning of the body, ultimately determining an individual's traits, both physical and biological.
