(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Easy of Biology

Genetics is the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms. However, genetic study is not limited to understanding how traits are passed down from generation to generation, but also involves investigating how genetic information is expressed and how mutations can lead to changes in organism phenotypes. Based on this context, answer: 1) What are chromosomes and how are they related to genes? 2) Explain the difference between genotype and phenotype and give an example of how a change in genotype can reflect in a different phenotype. 3) Compare diploid and haploid cells, discussing the number of chromosomes and their importance in sexual reproduction.
