# Cell Structure This diagram illustrates the structure of a cell and its components, from the cell itself to the genes within. - **Cell:** A basic unit of life - **Nucleus:** The control center of the cell - **Chromosome:** A thread-like structure that carries genetic information - **DNA:** Deoxyribonucleic acid, a molecule that carries genetic instructions - **Gene:** A segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein **Figure 1.4** Cells contain thousands of chromosomes, which contain hundreds to thousands of genes. These genes contain DNA and form the blueprint for your personality and health.
