阅读理解。

     Each cell in the human body contains about 25,000 to 35,000 genes, which carry information that determines

your traits. Traits are characteristics you inherit from your parents; this means your parents pass some of their

characteristics on to you through genes. For example, if both of your parents have green eyes, you might inherit

the trait of green eyes from them. Or if your mom has freckles, you might inherit that trait and wind up with a

freckled face. And genes aren't just in humans - all animals and plants have genes, too.

     Genes hang out all lined up on thread-like things called chromosomes. Chromosomes come in pairs, and there

are hundreds, sometimes thousands of genes in one chromosome. The chromosomes and genes are made of

DNA, which is short for deoxyribonucleic acid.

     Chromosomes are found inside cells, the very small units that make up all living things. A cell is so tiny that

you can only see it through the lens of a strong microscope, and there are billions of cells in your body. Most

cells have one nucleus. The nucleus, which is sort of egg-shaped, is like the brain of the cell. It tells every part

of the cell what to do. How does the nucleus know so much? It contains our chromosomes and genes. Tiny as

it is, the nucleus has more information in it than the biggest dictionary you've ever seen.
