Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits. The variable we change in an experiment. Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells A physical description or characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Ex: eye color, hair color, etc Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism The variable we measure in an experiment. DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans Builds the protein
