Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is asking about the units that carry traits from parents to offspring.
Recall that DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes, which contain many genes.
Recognize that genes are specific sequences of DNA that code for traits.
Note that nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, not the units that directly carry traits.
Ribosomes are cellular structures involved in protein synthesis, not carriers of genetic traits.
