How are chromosomes and genes alike?(1 point)

Question

Responses

They both encode a single protein.
They both encode a single protein.

They are both found on chromatids.
They are both found on chromatids.

They both contain genetic material.
They both contain genetic material.

They are both part of DNA.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

They both contain genetic material.

Both chromosomes and genes are integral components of genetic material in living organisms. Chromosomes are structures composed of DNA and proteins that house many genes, while genes are specific segments of DNA that encode instructions for making proteins.

Answer 2

In pea plants, the allele for round peas, R, is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas, r. What is the phenotype of a pea plant with genotype Rr?(1 point)
Responses

some round and some wrinkled
some round and some wrinkled

slightly wrinkled
slightly wrinkled

wrinkled
wrinkled

round

Answer 3

The correct response is:

round

In this case, since the allele for round peas (R) is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas (r), a pea plant with the genotype Rr will exhibit the dominant phenotype, which is round peas.
