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

Responses

The manual is a chromosome.
The manual is a chromosome.

Each set of instructions is a protein.
Each set of instructions is a protein.

Each structure is a gene.
Each structure is a gene.

The interlocking bricks are the chromosomes. ...

Answer 1

In the analogy you've presented, the correct statement would be:

The manual is a chromosome.

Here's how the analogy breaks down:

• The manual represents a chromosome because it contains the overall instructions and information needed to build various structures.
• Each set of instructions could be seen as a gene, as genes provide the specific information needed to produce proteins or traits.
• Each structure built from the instructions would represent a protein, as proteins are the end products resulting from the expression of genes.
• The interlocking bricks can be thought of as nucleotides or DNA segments, which are the building blocks that make up the genes (structures).

So, the best option among the given statements is that the manual represents a chromosome.
