The correct statement in this analogy is:
The manual is a chromosome.
In this model, the manual contains the complete set of instructions (genetic information) for building various structures (proteins), and each structure (protein) correlates to specific sets of instructions (genes) within the manual (chromosome). The interlocking bricks represent the individual units (nucleotides) that combine to form genes.
