A gene is a part of a codon that is found in a chromosome.
B
A chromosome is a part of the allele that is found in a gene.
C
A gene is a part of the DNA that is found in a chromosome.
D
A chromosome is a part of the DNA that is found in a gene.
3) What is the relationship between genes and chromosomes?
A
Genes are located on the chromosomes of each cell.
B
Chromosomes are found on specific genes.
C
Chromosomes are located on genes, which are made up of long threads of DNA.
D
Genes direct the functions of specific chromosomes.
4) What is the relationship among chromosomes, DNA, and genes?
A
DNA, which is made up of bundles of genes, is located on chromosomes.
B
Chromosomes are located on genes, which are made up of long threads of DNA.
C
Chromosomes are located on DNA, which is made up of long strands of genes.

5) Why are the mutations generated in a species' gene pool important?
A
The mutations cause evolution.
B
The mutations prevent inbreeding.
C
The mutations reduce variation.
D

A
Mutations only affect germ cells.
B
Mutations are immediately destroyed.
C
Most mutations kill the victim before reproduction occurs.
D
Most mutations occur on regions that are not gene-coded.
