- Genome and Chromosome
- Chromo-somes are long molecules of DNA
- Genome is stored in chromosomes
- 23 pairs of chromosomes
- DNA is a polymer made up of monomers made up of nucleotides
- Nucleotides include:
- Sugar - Pentagonal
- Phosphate - Circular
- Base - Square
- Nucleotides include:
- Genome is the entire genetic material of an organism
- Genome is stored in chromosomes
- Genes are instructions in the genome
- Small section of DNA
- Codes for a particular sequence of amino acid
- The amino acids join to make a protein
- Polymeri-sation
- Proteins control different characteristics
- The amino acids join to make a protein
- Different versions are called alleles
- Blue eyes, Brown eyes, Green eyes are alleles
- Genes and the envirionment can influence characteri-stics
- Combination of alleles is called the genotype
- What is displayed is the phenotype
- Interaction with the environment can modify the phenotype
- Chromo-somes are long molecules of DNA
