Proteins
Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells
Builds the protein
The entire finished meal that is made up of 2 or more proteins: steak, potatoes, salad, and dessert
The variable we measure in an experiment.
Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans
DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus
All the ingredients in an entire meal together: steak, salad, dessert
Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes
The building blocks of traits. Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits.
A different recipe that makes the same type of food
A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins
The variable we keep the same
The study of genetics and how traits are passed on to the next generation of organisms (kids)
The variable we change in an experiment.
Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait
A physical description or characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Ex: eye color, hair color, etc
Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism
A synonym for a trait
