How does the DNA code tell the cell what to do? 3. “What is a gene?” 4. Provide one example of what our genes contain instructions for? 5. What can happen if a gene is mutated? 6. “What is a chromosome?” 7. Explain the structure of a chromosome. 8. How many chromosomes do humans have? How are these chromosomes organized? 9. “What is a protein?” 10. Provide one example of a protein and its role within the body. 11. Explain the process that occurs for a protein to be made. 12. “ What is heredity?” 13. What is a gamete? How many chromosomes do gametes have? 14. What is a zygote?
