Curly hair, large nose, brown eyes: our __________ give the instructions that determine human traits, like these.

DNA is typically found in cells in the form of a very long strand that is coiled many times and contains thousands or millions of nitrogen bases. Which term best describes this very long molecule of DNA?

Some fruit flies are born with curly wings which makes them unable to fly. It has been shown that curly wings are caused by a dominant gene which can be represented by the symbol W, while the recessive normal wing gene is represented by the symbol w. If a parent fly with the genotype WW is crossed with a parent of the genotype Ww, what percentage the offspring will have curly wings?

Among a species of butterflies, the color blue (B) is a dominant trait. Yellow color (b) is a recessive trait. If a pure blue butterfly (BB) mates with a pure yellow (bb), what will the offspring look like?
