Chromosomes MCQs
Hello students, our today’s topic is a ‘Chromosome’. As we know DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is gene like molecule that is made up of four different type of nucleotide (A,C, T and G). These genes code for something in the body. It codes for a protein. The proteins will make living cells, living cells will make tissue, tissue will make organs and organs will make a creature or organism. Due to different mutations and different genes every individual is different on the planet.
