Differentiate between a chromosome, DNA, a gene, a base pair, and a protein.

Chromosome:

Chromosome may be defined as the thread like structure present in the nucleus. They are made of protein and DNA. Two types of chromosome are heterochromatin and euchromatin.

Gene:

Gene may be defined as the functional unit of DNA. The gene codes for the particular protein. They are inherited from one generation to the next generation.

A Base pair:

Base pairs may be defined as the different nitrogenous bases present in the nucleic acid. Adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine are present in DNA whereas uracil instead of thymine is present in RNA.

Protein:

Protein may be defined as the polymer of amino acids that are linked together through peptide bond. Proteins are the main building block of the body and one of the most important biomolecule.
