Background of Genetics

In order to completely understand the size and the relationship of genes to cells, we must take a look at some of the bigger components which the gene lies within.

There are eight different ideas that we need to look at to completely understand a gene and its location. These are as follows:

• Cell

• Nucleus

• Chromosome

• DNA

• Gene

• Close-up of a Gene

• Size Relationship Map

• Genetic Diseases
