Question

the information needed to create a human is contained within; strings of dna in cell nuclei; the genetic material that determines the nature of life forms; the code for a particular characteristic of a living organism; deoxyribonucleic acid; gene; chromosomes; dna

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each left - hand statement and match it with the appropriate term from the bottom:

1. "the information needed to create a human is contained within"

Chromosomes are structures in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic information (in the form of DNA) necessary for the development and functioning of an organism, including a human. So this statement should be matched with "chromosomes".

2. "strings of DNA in cell nuclei"

The full name of DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. So the phrase "strings of DNA in cell nuclei" is related to "deoxyribonucleic acid" (since DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid).

3. "the genetic material that determines the nature of life forms"

DNA is the genetic material that carries the instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known living organisms. So this statement is matched with "DNA".

4. "the code for a particular characteristic of a living organism"

A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the code for a particular characteristic (trait) of a living organism. So this statement is matched with "gene".

Final Matching:

• "the information needed to create a human is contained within" $

ightarrow$ chromosomes

• "strings of DNA in cell nuclei" $

ightarrow$ deoxyribonucleic acid

• "the genetic material that determines the nature of life forms" $

ightarrow$ DNA

• "the code for a particular characteristic of a living organism" $

ightarrow$ gene
