Inside the human body there are over 37 trillion cells. Making up skin, bones, muscles, and organs!
Here is an image of the outter layer of a cell.
Now lets take a look at the inside of the cell. You see that big purple ball in the middle on the right (Halfway cut open)? That's your Nucleus!
Your Nucleus is a fluid filled membrane conatining the majority of the cells genetic material. Inside your Nucleus is a Chromosome.
This image represents a Chromosone structure inside the Nucleus. Chromosones are made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called Histones.
Chromosones are made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called Histones. Genes are the locus for DNA. DNA makes up Genes.
