Asked by kelvin calin
Describe the relationship between DNA, chromosomes, and genes.
In a cell the relationship is hierarchical: DNA is the chemical molecule, genes are specific stretches of that DNA that carry instructions, and chromosomes are the packaged structures that organize long DNA molecules inside the nucleus.
What information did you include in your response? Check all that apply.
DNA carries instructions for making the proteins a cell needs.
DNA molecules are found in chromosomes.
Genes are segments of DNA that contain instructions that code for proteins.

Selected: DNA molecules are found in chromosomes.
Reason: I explicitly said chromosomes "organize long DNA molecules," which states DNA is in chromosomes. I mentioned genes are stretches of DNA that "carry instructions," but I did not explicitly say those instructions are for making proteins or that genes "code for proteins," so the first and third statements were not included verbatim.
