Here are a few ways we eat ginger. 1  In hot tea - We drink literally gallons of hot ginger tea in the fall and winter. We just cut up a hunk of fresh ginger (no need to peel) and pour a lot of boiling water over it. 2  Soup! - Fresh ginger, grated or pureed, brings wonderful zest to hot, creamy winter soups.
A chromosome is made up of tightly-packed structures called DNA. Each DNA is made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is made up of a sugar, a phosphate, and a base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine).
Chromosomes, DNA and genes. The nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes that carry genetic information. Most body cells have the same number of chromosomes, but this varies between species. Human body cells, for example, each have 23 matching pairs of chromosomes. Chromosomes are made from long, coiled molecules of DNA. A gene is a shorter region of DNA that carries the genetic code for a particular characteristic or cell activity. DNA molecules contain chemicals called bases. Note that these are not the bases you come across in chemistry - which neutralise acids.
