Term
Genetics is the science of
Definition
heredity, inheritance, inheritable traits.
Term
The genetic information (on the DNA) in a cell is called its
Definition
genome.
Term
DNA--->RNA-->Protein is called what?
Definition
Central Dogma of Biology=set of beliefs
Term
Define Genome
Definition
Sum of all the genetic material in a cell or virus
Term
The Genome of an organism is the totality of its
Definition
genetic material (totality of DNA nucleotides)
Term
A Genome is
Definition
All of the chromosomes and DNA sequences that an organism can possess.
Term
A Genome is
Definition
Totality of DNA nucleotides
Term
A Genome is
Definition
Totality of RNA nucleotides (virus)
Term
Genome Includes:
Definition
all DNA or RNA nucleotides
Term
Genes
Definition
segments of the DNA (chromosome) that code for products such as proteins and RNA.
Term
1 Gene makes
Definition
1 protein
Term
Nucleotide sequences
Definition
(genes) that code for polypeptides and proteins and nucleotides that code for RNA molecules
they are the A, T, C and G
Term
The Genetic Code is the set of rules that determines-QOT
Definition
how a nucleotide sequence is converted into the amino acid sequence of a protein
Term
Genetic Code = QOT
Definition
a complete set of triplets of mRNA nucleotides (called codons) that code for a specific amino acid
Term
Degenercy of the code: QOT
Definition
More than one codon can code for the same amino acid
Term
Genetic Code is almost universal for -QOT
Definition
eukaryotes and prokaryotes
Term
Genetic Code =
Definition
a complete set of triplets of mRNA nucleotides called codons that code for a specific amino acid
Term
The genome of most bacteria consists of
Definition
a single circular chromosome that carries all the genes essential for life.
Term
DNA localized in region of cytoplasm called
Definition
nucleoid
Term
Enzyme, gyrase, folds DNA into-QOT
Definition
supercoils
