Understand that genetic information is stored in DNA, which is composed of sequences of nucleotides.
Recognize that a gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for building a specific protein or set of proteins.
Identify that a chromosome is a long DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.
Learn that a codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule.
Conclude that the smallest unit of genetic information that can be directly read to code for a trait is a codon, as it specifies a particular amino acid in a protein sequence.
