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.
Unlike other gems which are formed by a combination of elements, diamonds are made up of one single element-Carbon. Carbon-containing minerals present in the Earth at those depths, crystallize to form diamonds because of the immense pressure together with the heat from molten magma.
