Target lemma: theory
Target surface form: theory
Context:
Researchers say the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes, alone or in combination, appears crucial to the development of such scourges as cancer of the brain, the skin, kidney, prostate, and cervix. There is evidence that if people inherit defective versions of these genes, they are especially prone to cancer, perhaps explaining, finally, why some cancers seem to haunt certain families. The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "<t>theory</t>. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content: The context describes Dr. Knudson's "two-hit theory" about retinoblastoma stemming from two separate genetic defects. At the time, "there was no way to prove" this theory. It was a tentative insight that explained certain facts (why some children develop retinoblastoma), but it wasn't yet verified. This fits sense 2 - a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena.

The context is "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes..."

The phrase "Back then" clearly refers to a specific time in the past ("at that time"). The examples for sense 3 include "prices were lower back then" which is a very close match to the usage in the context.

Sense 1 is about sequence ("subsequently or soon afterward")
Sense 2 is about consequence ("in that case or as a consequence")
Sense 3 is about time reference ("at that time")

The answer is sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes..."
Here, "way" means a method or means of doing something (ferreting out specific genes).
Candidate sense 1: "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode, style, fashion)
Candidate sense 2: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (means, agency)

Let's look closely at the distinction between sense 1 and sense 2.
Sense 1 (way%1:07:01::) is about the manner or style of doing something. Examples: "her dignified manner", "his rapid manner of talking".
Sense 2 (way%1:04:01::) is about the means to achieve an end. Examples: "a means of control", "an example is the best agency of instruction". Synonyms: means, agency.

In "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes", "way" means a method or means to achieve the end of ferreting out genes. It aligns perfectly with "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" and the synonym "means".

Therefore, sense 2 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes."

Here, "see" means to perceive by sight, specifically using a microscope to visually observe chromosomes. This matches sense 1: "perceive by sight or have the power to perceive by sight" with examples like "You have to be a good observer to see all the details; Can you see the bird in that tree?"

The key here is that they are literally looking through a microscope and perceiving chromosomes visually. This is straightforward visual perception.

Sense 19 "observe as if with an eye" is also possible but the examples mention a camera, which is more metaphorical. Sense 1 is the most direct fit for perceiving something visually through a microscope.

Let me check if sense 20 "observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect" could fit - but the context is about being able to visually perceive chromosomes, not about inspecting them carefully. The emphasis is on the ability to perceive them visually.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

The context is about chromosomes in cells that "contain" the genes. The cells hold/contain the genes within them. This is about having something within or holding something within.

Sense 2: "contain or hold; have within" - synonyms: hold, bear, carry - examples: "The jar carries wine; The canteen holds fresh water"

This fits well - the cells contain (have within) the genes.

Sense 1: "include or contain; have as a component" - this is more about comprising/incorporating as a component, like a paper comprising an idea or a record containing songs.

The distinction between sense 1 and sense 2: Sense 2 is about physical containment (holding within), while sense 1 is more about inclusion as a component. In this context, chromosomes physically hold/contain the genes within them, so sense 2 seems more appropriate.

Actually, let me reconsider. The chromosomes contain the genes - genes are components of chromosomes. This could be sense 1 (have as a component) or sense 2 (have within).

Looking at the examples more carefully:
- Sense 1: "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper; The record contains many old songs from the 1930's" - these are about things being included as components/parts
- Sense 2: "The jar carries wine; The canteen holds fresh water" - these are about physical containers holding things

Chromosomes are physical structures that hold genes within them. The genes are physically located on the chromosomes. This seems more like sense 2 (contain or hold; have within).

But genes are also components of chromosomes... Hmm.

The context says "the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes" - this is about chromosomes having genes within them. The genes are physically on/within the chromosomes. I think sense 2 is the best fit - "contain or hold; have within."

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider sense 1 vs sense 2 again.

Sense 1 examples: "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper" - the idea is a component of the paper; "The record contains many old songs" - the songs are components of the record.

Sense 2 examples: "The jar carries wine" - the wine is physically inside the jar; "The canteen holds fresh water" - the water is physically inside the canteen.

Chromosomes contain genes - genes are physical entities located on chromosomes. The chromosomes are like containers holding the genes. This is more like sense 2.

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "gross" in the context "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."
The context is about observing chromosomes under a microscope.
The phrase is "gross chromosome damage".
This means chromosome damage that is large or visible enough to be seen (as opposed to fine, microscopic detail, or damage at the molecular level).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. gross%3:00:00:: - before any deductions (e.g., gross income) - Incorrect.
2. gross%5:00:00:general:00 - lacking fine distinctions or detail (e.g., the gross details of the structure appear reasonable) - This could apply to anatomy (gross anatomy = macroscopic anatomy). In this context, "gross chromosome damage" means damage visible on a large scale, rather than lacking fine distinctions.
Wait, sense 4: gross%5:00:00:visible:00 - visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features) | synonyms=megascopic. This fits the "macroscopic" meaning, though visible under a microscope isn't exactly "naked eye", it's contrasted with "specific genes" which they couldn't see, but they could see "23 pairs of chromosomes" and "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." "Gross" here means large-scale, visible, macroscopic (or at least visible under a microscope as opposed to submicroscopic).
Wait, let's look at "gross" in anatomy. Gross anatomy vs microscopic anatomy. Gross means visible to the naked eye. But here they say "under a microscope they could see... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." Wait. Chromosomes are not visible to the naked eye. But "gross" damage means damage affecting the gross structure, rather than the molecular structure (the specific genes). So it refers to the large-scale or overall structure, lacking fine detail. Let's check sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail | examples=the gross details of the structure appear reasonable". In biology, gross structure refers to the structure visible without magnification (or as a whole, as opposed to fine structure). Let's check sense 4: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features) | synonyms=megascopic".
But if they are looking under a microscope, "gross chromosome damage" refers to changes in the overall structure of the chromosome, lacking fine detail (i.e., at the level of the whole chromosome or large parts of it, rather than a point mutation in a specific gene). This aligns with "lacking fine distinctions or detail".
Let's reconsider standard WordNet senses:
gross (adj) visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features); "a gross characteristic of the structure"
gross (adj) lacking fine distinctions or detail; "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable"

Is "gross" in "gross chromosome damage" synonymous with "macroscopic" or "visible to naked eye"? In pathology, "gross" usually means macroscopic (visible to the naked eye), as in "gross appearance" or "gross specimen". However, chromosomes are microscopic. "Gross chromosome damage" means large-scale damage to the chromosome structure, which is visible under a microscope, as opposed to fine/molecular damage (like a mutation in a specific gene). Thus, it lacks fine distinctions or detail, which is sense 2. Let's check the examples for 2 and 4.
Sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - "the gross details of the structure appear reasonable" (this is likely from a corpus example about some scientific structure).
Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye (especially of rocks and anatomical features)" - synonyms=megascopic.
If sense 4 implies "naked eye", chromosomes cannot be seen with the naked eye. But "gross" is often used to mean "overall" or "lacking fine detail" in science.
Let's search for "gross%5:00:00:general:00". The definition is "lacking fine distinctions or detail". This matches the contrast in the text: "scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes [fine detail], but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." Here "gross" contrasts with "specific genes", meaning large-scale, overall, lacking fine detail.
Therefore, sense 2 fits best.
Let's double check sense 2 definition: "lacking fine distinctions or detail". Yes, this contrasts with specific genes.

Let's review the prompt text: "Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible."
"specific genes" vs "gross chromosome damage"
This perfectly aligns with "lacking fine distinctions or detail" (sense 2).

Let me check if there are other senses.
Sense 4: "visible to the naked eye" - but chromosomes are only visible under a microscope.
Sense 2: "lacking fine distinctions or detail" - "gross details of the structure appear reasonable". This makes perfect sense in scientific context.

I will output sense 2.

Target lemma: damage
Target surface form: damage
Context:
The story of tumor-suppressor genes goes back to the 1970s, when a pediatrician named Alfred G. Knudson Jr. proposed that retinoblastoma stemmed from two separate genetic defects. He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome <t>damage</t> was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "damage" in the context "gross chromosome damage was visible."
The context is about genetic defects, chromosomes, and biological changes.
Sense 1: "the occurrence of a change for the worse" (harm, impairment)
Sense 2: "loss of military equipment"
Sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone"
Sense 4: "the amount of money needed to purchase something"
Sense 5: "any harm or injury resulting from a violation of a legal right"

The visible "gross chromosome damage" refers to a change for the worse in the chromosome's structure (an impairment or harm).
Sense 1 fits best. It is the result or occurrence of a change for the worse.

Let's check sense 3: "the act of damaging something or someone". The text says "chromosome damage was visible". It's the result/state of being damaged, the impairment of the chromosome, rather than the act itself. So sense 1 fits.

Let's choose sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes "gross chromosome damage was visible" under a microscope. This means the damage could be seen with the eye (through a microscope).

Sense 1: "capable of being seen; or open to easy view" - synonyms=seeable - examples=a visible object; visible stars
Sense 2: "obvious to the eye" - examples=a visible change of expression
Sense 3: "present and easily available" - not applicable here.

The key distinction between Sense 1 and Sense 2 is subtle. Sense 1 is about being capable of being seen (literal seeing). Sense 2 is about being obvious to the eye (more figurative, noticeable). The sentence says "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." This is about literally being able to see something under a microscope.

Sense 1 seems like the best fit. It literally means capable of being seen.

reasoning_content:
The context describes Dr. Knudson who, through scientific investigation and observation (using a microscope), discovered/determined that some children with eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13. This was the result of a scientific study/investigation.

Looking at the candidate senses:
- Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - synonyms: detect, observe, discover, notice. Examples: "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water; We found traces of lead in the paint"
- Sense 4: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" - synonyms: determine, find out, ascertain. Examples: "find the product of two numbers; The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize"
- Sense 8: "make a discovery, make a new finding" - synonyms: discover. Examples: "Roentgen discovered X-rays; Physicists believe they found a new elementary particle"

The context says "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease." This is about establishing a fact through investigation/study.

Sense 4 seems very fitting: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study" with example "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize" - this is a scientific finding established through research.

Sense 8: "make a discovery, make a new finding" - "Roentgen discovered X-rays; Physicists believe they found a new elementary particle" - this is about making a new scientific discovery.

Sense 2: "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" - "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water; We found traces of lead in the paint" - this is about detecting/determining the existence of something.

The context: Dr. Knudson, through his research and observation under a microscope, established/determined that some children had inherited a damaged chromosome. This is a scientific finding through investigation.

Sense 4 seems best: "establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study". The example "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize" is very close in nature - a scientist establishing a fact through research.

Sense 8 is about making a brand new discovery (like discovering X-rays). Here, Dr. Knudson is establishing/determining a fact through his study, not necessarily discovering something entirely new but proving/determining his theory.

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 4 is about establishing after investigation/study
- Sense 8 is about making a discovery (new finding)

Dr. Knudson "found that" - this is establishing a fact through investigation. The example for sense 4 "The physicist who found the elusive particle won the Nobel Prize" is very similar - a scientist establishing a fact through research.

I'll go with sense 4.

The target word is "children" in the context: "Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease."

Let's look at the context:
- The text discusses eye cancer in infants/children.
- "an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene"
- "some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent"

Sense 1: a young person of either sex (kid, youngster, minor)
Sense 2: a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age
Sense 3: an immature childish person
Sense 4: a member of a clan or tribe

The context refers to young patients with eye cancer (retinoblastoma, typically diagnosed in young children). The word "infant" is used earlier, and "children with the eye cancer" refers to young individuals who are patients.

While sense 2 (offspring of any age) could technically apply since they inherited genes from parents, the context emphasizes their young age (infants, young patients with eye cancer). Retinoblastoma is specifically a childhood cancer. The use of "children" here refers to young people, matching sense 1.

Wait, but "children" as offspring - the sentence says "children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy from a parent." The inheritance aspect might suggest offspring, but in this context, "children" refers to the young patients, not the offspring relationship per se. The fact that they inherited genes is just describing the biology, not the word sense.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Children with the eye cancer" - this refers to young people who have eye cancer. They are patients. The term is used to describe their young age, not their relationship as offspring. Even though the sentence mentions inheritance from a parent, the word "children" itself is referring to young patients.

Sense 1 seems the best fit because:
1. Eye cancer (retinoblastoma) is primarily a disease of young children
2. The text mentions "infant" earlier
3. "children with the eye cancer" refers to young patients, not the offspring relationship

I'll go with sense 1.

Target lemma: damaged
Target surface form: damaged
Context:
He theorized that in the eye cancer, an infant inherited a damaged copy of a gene from one parent and a normal copy from the other. The tumor, he suggested, developed when the second, normal copy also was damaged. But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a <t>damaged</t> copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=damaged%3:00:00:: | definition=harmed or injured or spoiled | examples=I won't buy damaged goods; the storm left a wake of badly damaged buildings
2. sense_key=damaged%5:00:00:disreputable:00 | definition=being unjustly brought into disrepute | synonyms=discredited | examples=a discredited politician; her damaged reputation

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a "damaged copy of a gene" and a "damaged copy of chromosome No. 13" where "a bit of chromosome 13 was missing." This is about physical/genetic damage to the chromosome, not reputation.

Sense 1: harmed or injured or spoiled - fits the genetic context where the gene/chromosome is physically altered/damaged.
Sense 2: being unjustly brought into disrepute - refers to reputation, doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about genetics and chromosomes. The target word "copy" is used in the phrase "damaged copy of a gene" and "copy of chromosome No. 13". In genetics, a "copy" of a gene or chromosome refers to one of the two instances of that gene/chromosome (one inherited from each parent).

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. copy%1:10:00:: - a reproduction of a written record (transcript) - doesn't fit
2. copy%1:06:00:: - a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing - examples: "she made a copy of the designer dress; the clone was a copy of its ancestor" - This fits best, as a gene copy is an identical/similar instance of the gene.
3. copy%1:10:01:: - matter to be printed - doesn't fit
4. copy%1:10:02:: - material suitable for a journalistic account - doesn't fit

Sense 2 is the best fit. The genetic "copy" of a gene or chromosome is conceptually "a thing made to be similar or identical to another thing" (in this case, inherited copies are very similar/identical versions of the gene/chromosome). The example "the clone was a copy of its ancestor" is genetically related to the usage here.

So the answer is sense_index 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "actually" in the sentence: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. actually%4:02:01:: - "in actual fact" (synonyms: really). Examples: "to be nominally but not actually independent", "no one actually saw the shark". This implies something was really observed or happened in fact.
2. actually%4:02:00:: - "used to imply that one would expect the fact to be the opposite of that stated; surprisingly" (synonyms: in reality). Examples: "you may actually be doing the right thing by walking out", "she actually spoke Latin". This implies surprise or contrast with expectations.
3. actually%4:02:03:: - "at the present moment". Example: "the transmission screen shows the picture that is actually on the air". This relates to current time.
4. actually%4:02:02:: - "as a sentence modifier to add slight emphasis". Examples: "actually, we all help clear up after a meal", "actually, I haven't seen the film". This is used as a discourse marker.

In the context: "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."
This means he was able to visually observe, in fact, the missing piece. The word "actually" here emphasizes the real, factual nature of the observation—seeing it with his own eyes. It means "in actual fact" or "really" seeing it, not just inferring it.
Is it surprising (sense 2)? "Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." This sets up that seeing damage is possible but not always easy. "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing." It might have a slight element of surprise or emphasis on the reality of it. But wait, does "actually" mean "really" here (sense 1) or "surprisingly" (sense 2)? "Actually see" often implies "really see" or "visibly see", as opposed to just inferring. "No one actually saw the shark" -> "he could actually see". This fits sense 1.
Let's look at sense 2: "used to imply that one would expect the fact to be the opposite of that stated; surprisingly". If he could "actually see" it, the expectation might be that you *couldn't* see it because genes are small, but chromosomes are visible under a microscope. But the sentence says "under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes... Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." So seeing chromosome damage was expected to be possible. Here "actually" emphasizes that he could see the specific missing bit, in actual fact. "Actually" = really.
Let's consider if it fits sense 4: "as a sentence modifier to add slight emphasis". "Actually, we all help..." In this sentence, "actually" modifies "see": "could actually see". So it's not a sentence modifier.
Sense 1 seems the best fit: "in actual fact". He could really/actually see it.

Wait, is there an element of surprise? "but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible." Since scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but they could see chromosomes. "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing." He couldn't find specific genes, but he *could* actually see the missing piece of the chromosome. It emphasizes the reality of the visual confirmation. Sense 1 fits "in actual fact".

Let's double check.
1: in actual fact. "no one actually saw the shark" -> nobody saw it in actual fact. "he could actually see" -> he could see in actual fact.
2: surprisingly / contrary to expectation. "she actually spoke Latin".
4: sentence modifier. "actually, we all help..."

Here, "actually" is an adverb modifying "see". It means "in actual fact" or "really". So sense 1 is the correct choice.

reasoning_content:
The context is about a piece of chromosome 13 that was missing. "Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing."

The word "bit" here refers to a small piece or fragment of the chromosome. Looking at the candidates:

1. sense_key=bit%1:23:01:: - "a small piece or quantity of something" - synonyms: spot - examples: "a spot of tea; a bit of paper"
2. sense_key=bit%1:17:00:: - "a small fragment of something broken off from the whole" - synonyms: chip, flake, fleck, scrap - examples: "a bit of rock caught him in the eye"

Sense 2 seems most appropriate here because the context talks about a fragment of chromosome that was missing (broken off from the whole chromosome). The definition mentions "broken off from the whole" which fits the context of a piece of chromosome being missing/damaged.

Sense 1 is more general "a small piece or quantity of something" but the example "a bit of paper" and synonym "spot" suggests more of a small amount rather than a fragment broken off.

The context specifically mentions that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing - this implies a fragment that broke off or was lost from the whole chromosome. Sense 2 fits better with its definition "a small fragment of something broken off from the whole" and synonyms like "chip, flake, fleck, scrap."

So the answer is sense_index: 2.

The target word is "piece" used in the phrase "the missing piece contained a gene or genes".
Context: a bit of chromosome 13 was missing, "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene...".
Here, "piece" refers to a portion of a natural object (chromosome 13).
Looking at the senses:
1. piece%1:06:00:: - a separate part of a whole
3. piece%1:17:00:: - a portion of a natural object | synonyms=part | examples=they analyzed the river into three parts; he needed a piece of granite

Chromosomes are natural objects. A piece of a chromosome is a portion of a natural object.
Sense 3 seems to fit perfectly. "a portion of a natural object".
Let's check Sense 1: "a separate part of a whole". "an important piece of the evidence".
While a chromosome is a whole and the piece is a part, "portion of a natural object" is more specific and fits "chromosome" exactly.
Wait, chromosome 13 is a natural object, so its missing portion is a piece of it.
Let's see the examples for Sense 3: "they analyzed the river into three parts; he needed a piece of granite". River and granite are natural objects. Chromosome is a natural object.
Let's choose Sense 3.

Target lemma: contain
Target surface form: contained
Context:
But there was no way to prove Dr. Knudson's "two-hit "theory. Back then, scientists had no way of ferreting out specific genes, but under a microscope they could see the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells that contain the genes. Occasionally, gross chromosome damage was visible. Dr. Knudson found that some children with the eye cancer had inherited a damaged copy of chromosome No. 13 from a parent who had had the disease. Under a microscope he could actually see that a bit of chromosome 13 was missing. He assumed the missing piece <t>contained</t> a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer. But he did not know which gene or genes had disappeared.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "contained" in the sentence: "He assumed the missing piece contained a gene or genes whose loss had a critical role in setting off the cancer."

This means the missing piece of chromosome had a gene or genes within it.

Let's look at the senses:
1. contain%2:42:00:: - include or contain; have as a component
2. contain%2:42:13:: - contain or hold; have within
3. contain%2:41:00:: - lessen the intensity of; temper; hold in restraint
4. contain%2:42:06:: - be divisible by
5. contain%2:42:14:: - be capable of holding or containing
6. contain%2:33:00:: - hold back, as of a danger or an enemy

Sense 1 (include or contain; have as a component) and Sense 2 (contain or hold; have within) are close.
Sense 2 examples: "The jar carries wine", "The canteen holds fresh water". This is about physical containment of a volume/substance.
Sense 1 examples: "A totally new idea is comprised in this paper", "The record contains many old songs from the 1930's". This is more about having as a component, including.

The missing piece of chromosome contained a gene or genes. Chromosomes contain genes as components. It's a part-whole relationship. Sense 1 ("include or contain; have as a component") seems slightly better for abstract/componential containment, but Sense 2 ("have within") is also very applicable.

Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
"contain a gene or genes" -> having as a component.
In WordNet, "contain%2:42:00::" is "include or contain; have as a component".
"contain%2:42:13::" is "contain or hold; have within".
"contain a gene" - a chromosome contains genes. This is structural/componential.
I'll go with Sense 1.
