Genes are so small that we need microscopes to see them. You can create models to show how genes, chromosomes, and proteins relate to human traits.
Order the structures into the correct position based on the order listed next to the cell
1. Genes: Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for building proteins.
2. Chromosomes: Chromosomes are structures made up of tightly coiled DNA molecules. They contain many genes and are located inside the cell nucleus.
3. Proteins: Proteins are large molecules made up of amino acids. They perform a variety of functions in the cell and are essential for the expression of traits.
4. Human Traits: Human traits, such as hair color, eye color, and height, are determined by the interaction of genes and proteins. Genes provide the instructions for building proteins, and specific proteins contribute to the development and expression of different traits.
