a complex molecule containging the genetic information that makes up chormosomes.
A molecule that is made up of Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine, and Adanine that determines our traits.

Definition
The biochemichecal units of heredity that make up the chromosomes; segments of DNA capable of synthesizing a protien.
All the DNA put together that makes us who we are physicaly and some can argue also mentaly.
We inherit our genes from our mom and dad and some are more dominant, some are co dominant and some are recesive. |

Term
|
Definition
The study of the relative power and limits of genetic and enviormental influences on behavior.
How our surroundings and our gene makeup make us who we are.
Scientists who study this try to figure out which factor (genes or the envornment) play more of a role in who we are. |

twins who develop from separate (dizygotic) fertilized eggs. They are genetically no closer than brothers or sisters, but they share a fetal environment
two fertilized eggs becoming fetuses in the womb at the same time but different genetic makeup
