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)

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

1 answer

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

Here's the reasoning:

  • The manual contains instructions (genes) for building various structures (proteins) using interlocking bricks (which represent the units of genetic information, typically DNA nucleotide sequences).
  • Each structure built from the bricks represents a specific gene or protein, but the manual as a whole represents the collection of genetic information contained in a chromosome.
