Cells, Chromosomes and the Genetic Code

As living things, we are made up of cells. Inside those cells is a nucleus. Inside the nucleus of each cells are structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain our genetic code. The genetic code is a sequence of bases on a molecule called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Sections of this DNA code for specific traits. These sections are called genes. There are often different versions of the same gene, called alleles. You got one allele from each parent. Alleles differ in their exact base sequence (genetic code), which gives variation (differences).
