Question

1. the diagram below represents the banding pattern for human chromosome 11, with some of the bands labeled. the bands represent a. proteins b. starches c. genes d. enzymes

Explanation:

Chromosomes are made up of DNA, and genes are segments of DNA that carry genetic information. The bands on a chromosome represent genes, as genes are specific regions on the chromosome that code for particular traits or characteristics (such as the diseases labeled, which are associated with specific gene - regions). Proteins are the products of gene expression (genes code for proteins), but the bands themselves represent the genes. Starches are carbohydrates and have no direct relation to chromosome banding. Enzymes are a type of protein (also products of gene expression) and not what the chromosome bands represent.

Answer:

C. Genes
