Walt: Write a Sentence about where DNA is found?
The cells in the body contains a nucleus, where it contains all the DNA in each individual. The DNA is packaged up as an chromosome. Chromosome's are made of DNA, but these chromosome's are found in the nucleus.
DNA is the code that carries instructions for building living organisms. It is inherited from parents. A section of DNA that has instructions for a trait is called a gene. A gene is the section of DNA that has the instructions for a protein that makes a trait.
In the picture above, you could see an eye cell that has all the DNA in its nucleus, and the gene for eye colour has instructions to make a protein. The DNA of the gene has instructions for green eye colour. The individual has green eyes, because of the instructions in their DNA and in their genes, which is found in every one of their cells.
