Question 1 Report
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| P | nucleus - contains the chromosomes |
| Q | ribosome - found in the cytoplasm |
| R | mRNA - a single-strand copy of a gene |
| S | amino acid - a building block of protein |
Genes are lengths of DNA. Using the table, in which part of the cell are the genes stored?
Genes are lengths of DNA, and the DNA is found on the chromosomes inside the nucleus, so the genes are stored in the part described as the nucleus containing the chromosomes. The ribosome, mRNA and amino acids are all involved in building proteins, not in storing the genes, so the genes are held in the nucleus.
