Histone

A

Protein that DNA gets tightly wrapped around

20
Q

Gene

A

chunks of DNA found within a chromosome

21
Q

DNA

A

codes with amino acid, join tg to make a protein that determines the traits you have

22
Q

Alleles

A

Alleles are different versions of a gene, ex. eye color, hair etc.

23
Q
