37.

Explain how the following are related: Genes, Proteins, Chromosomes, and Nucleus

The nucleus is the control center of the cell. Inside is DNA which is a set of instructions used to make proteins. When DNA is coiled up it makes chromosomes. On each chromosome there are many genes. Genes call for specific proteins to be made that determine characteristics like eye color, height, dimples, freckles, and hitchhikers thumb.

Read fully or point are taken off.
