DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotide. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate

group, sugar group and nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine
(T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases determines DNA’s instructions, or
genetic code. Human DNA has around 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases
are the same in all people.
Genes are distinct portion of cell’s DNA. They are coded instructions for making
everything that our body needs, especially proteins. These proteins are chains of chemical
building blocks, which are called amino acids.
Proteins from the basis for most of what our body does such as digestions, making energy
and growing.
Chromosomes are made of genes. These genes determine the traits of all living organisms.

Activity
1. Differentiate genes from chromosomes?

Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. Mendel’s classic genetic
experiments involved the interpretation of crossing the garden pea plants having pairs of
contrasting traits. Multiple alleles are traits that have three or more alleles. A polygenic
inheritance is a trait affected by many genes in which each individual gene makes a small
contribution to the organism’s phenotype. The environment interacts with an organism’s
genotype to produce its phenotype.

Activity

1. What is polygenic inheritance?

2. Define heredity in your own words?

Note: Refer to your Science Ibook page 18-21 for further explanation of the topic.
