PRESENTATION OUTLINE

DNA

  • Information cells “read” to know what to do
  • Makes up chromosomes
  • Found in the nucleus (of eukaryotes
  • Made up of sugar, phosphate and nitrogen bases

GENE

  • Segments of DNA that carry hereditary information,located on chromosomes

CHROMOSOMES

  • Hereditary material that controls all activities in the cell
  • The cells instruction manual
  • A molecule that looks like a twisted latter

  • The study of how biological parents and their off spring have similar or different traits
