Report Abuse. The difference between a gene, a chromosome and DNA is that DNA is the nucleic acid contained within chromosomes located in the nucleus of cells. In addition, genes are located on cells and they control the production of proteins.Source(s): I am taking AP biology and Anatomy/Physiology Honors.NA is the molecular code that codes for all proteins which make up life, a gene is a piece of dna that codes for one protein. A chromosome is a strand of DNA, this is where a number of genes are located, humans have 23 types of chromosomes and have two of each type.
Start with Carbon. Understanding the chemistry of a diamond requires a basic knowledge of the element carbon. A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus, balanced by 6 electrons. The electron shell configuration of carbon is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 2.
Besides, the word molecule is used for chemical compounds, of which diamond is not. Diamond is a crystallized piece of one element, that being carbon. Natural diamonds are not usually 100% carbon but include impurities, such as in the recently-discovered almost 12-caret pink diamond. pure diamond is composed of only one element, carbon. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon, graphite and buckminsterfullere being the others. Pure diamond is an element, not a compound.
