Understand the Problem
The text discusses the genetic code, DNA structure, and the concept of chromosomes and genes. It explains how these elements contribute to heredity and the uniqueness of individual genomes.
Answer
The genetic code includes DNA bases (A, T, C, G). Genes are heredity units on chromosomes. The human genome is the gene set. Each cell has 46 chromosomes, except sex cells (23).
The genetic code is composed of DNA, which consists of sequences of bases adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Chromosomes in cells contain genes, which are the functional units of heredity. The human genome is the complete set of genes in a human. Cells contain 46 chromosomes, except sex cells which have 23.

More Information
DNA's double-helix structure is key to its function. Chromosomes ensure precise distribution of genes during cell division. The process of transcription involves RNA polymerase creating mRNA, crucial for protein synthesis.
Tips
Ensure to differentiate between the terms genes, DNA, and chromosomes. Understand the roles of different types of RNA in gene expression.
