- 1 Chromosome = 1000s of genes
- Genes carry instructions for the build of a protein
- Protein carries characteristics of an individual ex: Blood
- Different spices have different numbers of chromosomes
- Cat: 38
- Chicken: 78
- Chimps: 42
- Humans: 46
- Chromosomes work in pairs (homologous pairs)
- Nature: Based on length of the chromosones
- Homologous Loci = the sames as the other paired with it ( 2 versions of one charactaristic per gene (alleles))
