Write down 3 “things” that you know about DNA

What is a GENE?

Instruction manual for our body

Portion of DNA that “codes” (has

directions) for a trait

What is a TRAIT?A trait is a genetically determined characteristic

Where is a Gene?

•Within DNA

•The nitrogen bases spell out

the instructions.
