(SCI) Chromosomes, Genes and DNA

• The potential for changing an organism's traits through DNA manipulation, is to reflect on the potential for genetic manipulation of traits.
• Genes and chromosomes determines an organism's coat color, eye color, and other inherited traits.
• Traits are the observable characteristics that can be passed from parents to offspring.
• Chromosomes can be found inside the cell nucleus of multicellular organisms.
• Genes are found inside the cell nucleus of an organism's cells.
• Chromosomes is the structure that contains one long molecule of DNA.
• Traits are passed from parents to offspring through the inheritance of genes.
• DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
• Genes are the pieces of hereditary material, which are passed from parents to offspring.
• Variations in genes can result in different traits.
• Genes are specific stretches of a chromosome's DNA molecule.
• The similarity between human and chimpanzee DNA provides evidence for evolution.
• A frameshift mutation in a gene can lead to a change in the reading frame of the gene.
• The function of the lac operon in gene regulation is to regulate the expression of lactose-metabolizing genes.
• Chromosomes are made of DNA.
• The role of the DNA is to store genetic information, and can be found in the nucleus of a cell.
• The function of tRNA in protein synthesis is to carry amino acids to the ribosome.
• The percentage of DNA similarity between humans and fruit flies is 50%.
• The result of the combination of DNA from both parents is a complete set of genetic instructions.
• The process for DNA transcription is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
• Offspring inherits their DNA from both parents.
• The role of the ribosome in protein synthesis is to translate mRNA into proteins.
• The purpose of DNA replication before cell division is to ensure that each cell has a complete set of DNA.
• The role of microRNAs in gene regulation is to regulate gene expression by targeting specific mRNAs.
• A zygote is the result of the fertilization of an egg by a sperm.
• The function of the centromere in a chromosome is to anchor the chromosome during cell division.
