Chromosomes
a thread-like structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.

Allele
each of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
2 of 5
DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
