Reading Traits in the Corn Genome
Chromosomes, Genes, and Traits
The genes that govern many specific traits have been
identified in the genome of maize (corn) and located
along the plant's ten chromosomes. Just a few of these
genes are shown here, yet they demonstrate how broadly
the gene sequences in DNA affect an organism's appearance
and health.

genes located on corn's ten chromosomes and see
the effects of those genes.
