Exercise
Organization: DNA, Genes, and Chromosomes
In this engaging exercise, students will explore the intricate organization of DNA, genes, and chromosomes through interactive models and hands-on activities, allowing them to visualize and understand how genetic information is structured and passed on in living organisms. Participants will create their own diagrams to illustrate the relationship between these fundamental units of heredity, enhancing their grasp of genetic concepts.
