These threadlike structures carry all the information necessary
for the proper growth and development of the cell and
organism. On the chromosomes are genes. Each genes control
one or more features of the organism by determining which
proteins are made by the cells. When a ell reproduces, it first
duplicates its chromosomes and then divides them between the
two offspring cells.
