A manual contains instructions for how to build a variety of structures using a set of interlocking bricks. If this scenario is used as a model for genetic information, which statement is correct? (1 point)

Question

• Each set of instructions is a protein.
• The manual is a chromosome.
The interlocking bricks are the chromosomes.
Each structure is a gene.

Answer 1

In this scenario used as a model for genetic information, the correct statement is:

• The manual is a chromosome.

This is because a chromosome contains a complete set of instructions (or genes) for building proteins, similar to how a manual contains instructions for building various structures.
