Expert Solution
Step 1

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a genetic material and it transfers genetic information from parents to offspring. DNA in the cell's nucleus in which it is tightly packaged into thread-like structures known as chromosomes. The structure of the chromosomes consists of a long strand of DNA. Human chromosomes contain approximately 3.2 billion of nucleotide base pairs with 20,000 to 25,000 genes for coding the proteins. A gene is defined as a segment of DNA-encoding proteins. An allele is defined as two copies of a single gene, one allele derived from the mother and the other from the father. Therefore, an individual consists of two copies of each gene.
