Key Concepts

Chromosomes

Chromosomes are long, threadlike structures that are composed of DNA and proteins. They organize and compact the DNA within the cell nucleus to ensure correct replication and distribution during cell division. Their structure plays a critical role in genetic inheritance and cell functioning across all living organisms.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the fundamental molecule that carries the genetic instructions essential for growth, development, and reproduction. It is organized in a double helix structure and serves as the blueprint for cellular functions, encoding the information that is inherited from one generation to the next.
