Chromosomes are molecules of DNA and proteins . They are located in the nucleus of the cell and their function is to carry genes . A gene is a part of DNA that contains code for the synthesis of a protein or an RNA molecule. 💡 gene = a segment of DNA that codes for a protein / an RNA molecule You can think of genes as of recipes that you use in the kitchen to make various dishes. In the recipe, you'd find ingredients and steps that you need to follow to make your favourite meal. Genes are actually very similar and contain all the instructions on how to make a protein. However, there are also parts of DNA that do not code for any protein or an RNA molecule . These noncoding segments are sometimes referred to as junk DNA . Even though these parts of DNA don't contain instructions on the synthesis of a protein, they are still very important, although their precise role remains unknown. 💡 junk DNA = a segment of DNA that does not code for any protein /
