Length of DNA that codes for a characteristic/protein.
1 of 8
Genetic code
Coded information within the DNA of an organism that controls the proteins made by its cells, so controlling its characterisitcs and how it develops.
2 of 8
Base pairs
Pairs of DNA bases; A pairs with T and C pairs with G.
3 of 8
Proteins
Large molecules (polymers) made of many amino acids joined together. Proteins have many functions, including structural (as in muscle), hormones, antibodies, and enzymes.
4 of 8
Complementary base pairing
Pairing between DNA bases; A with T and C with G. Their shapes fit together; they are complimentary.
5 of 8
Base triplet
Sequence of three DNA bases in a gene, that specifies a particular amino acid's position in the protein.
6 of 8
Ribosomes
Structures in the cytoplasm of the cell, where proteins are assembled.
7 of 8
mRNA
Messenger RNA: a single-stranded molecule that carries a copy of the genetic code from the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where proteins are assembled.
