Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genes are distinct portions of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins and ultimately determine an individual's traits and characteristics. Chromosomes are structures made up of DNA and protein that contain genes, but they do not carry the instructions themselves. Somatotypes and biochemical imbalances are not related to this concept.
