A gene is a segment of DNA that encodes function. A chromosome consists of a long strand of DNA containing many genes. A human chromosome can have up to 500 million base pairs of DNA with thousands of genes.he total complement of genes in an organism or cell is known as its genome, which may be stored on one or more chromosomes. A chromosome consists of a single, very long DNA helix on which thousands of genes are encoded. The region of the chromosome at which a particular gene is located is called its locus.
Yes. Even the plants and algae that are completely under the surface are exposed to enough sunlight to conduct photosynthesis. Shoreline plants and partially submerged plants are included in water biomes, and these, of course, photosynthesize.
Photosynthesis occurs in organelles called CHLOROPLASTS. More specifically, half of the photosynthesis chemistry stuff occurs in a liquid inside the chloropasts called STROMA, & the other half of photosynthesis occurs in stacks of membranes inside the chloroplast called GRANA. Turns out there are 2 types of chlorophyll, chlorophyll a & chlorophyll b.
