Question

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

Answer 1

In this scenario, the correct statement is: The manual is a chromosome.

This is because the manual contains the complete set of instructions needed to build a variety of structures (representing the genetic information), and each specific set of instructions for building a particular structure would correspond to a gene. The interlocking bricks themselves represent the individual components (nucleotides) that make up the DNA, and the structures built from the bricks (proteins) come from the instructions in the manual (chromosome).
