• What is the role of the genome in cells?

  The genome contains the genetic material that codes for and controls inherited features and processes.
• Where is genetic material stored in plant and animal cells?

  In the nucleus.
• Where is genetic material stored in bacterial cells?

  In the cytoplasm.
• What is DNA made of?

  DNA is made up of smaller chemical units called nucleotides.
• What are chromosomes?


  Chromosomes are tightly-packed structures made of DNA.
• What are genes?


  Genes are short sections of DNA that carry instructions for features and processes.
• What is the definition of a genome?

  The genome is all of the DNA of an organism that codes for and controls inherited features and processes.
• How does the similarity of a genome relate to individuals or species?

  The similarity of a genome indicates how similar individuals or species are.
• What are the common misconceptions about DNA?

  • All DNA codes for features rather than processes shared by all living organisms.
  • Animals are the only living organisms that have DNA.
• Why is it important to make the role of DNA explicit using non-animal examples?

  To clarify that DNA is present in all living organisms, not just animals.
• What are the key terms related to the genome?

  • Nucleus: A structure in cells that stores genetic material (DNA).
  • DNA: A large chemical molecule made of smaller chemical groups that carries the genetic code.
  • Chromosome: Structures made of tightly packaged DNA.
  • Gene: A short section of DNA that carries the genetic code for an inherited feature or process.
  • Genome: All of the DNA of an organism that codes for and controls inherited features and processes.
• What is the correct full form of DNA?

  Deoxyribonucleic acid.
• What is the relationship between the similarity of species and their genomes?

  The more similar the species, the more similar their genomes.
• Who is incorrect regarding non-coding DNA?

  Jacob: Non-coding sections of DNA are genes.
