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

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

The interlocking bricks are the chromosomes.
The interlocking bricks are the chromosomes.

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

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

Answer 1

In the scenario described, where a manual contains instructions for building structures with interlocking bricks, the correct analogy to genetic information would be:

The manual is a chromosome.

A chromosome contains the genetic instructions (the manual) that direct the assembly of proteins (the structures) through the expression of genes (the specific sections of instructions within the manual).
