DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID - DNA MEANING
DNA - IS KNOWN AS THE BUILDING BLOCK OF LIFE THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION THE CELL REQUIRES TO SYNTHESIZE PROTEIN AND REPLICATE ITSELF
TRANSCRIPTION - IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE GENE IS WRITTEN DOWN ON A DIFFERENT MOLECULE
TRANSLATION - RIBOSOMES ACT AS A TRANSLATOR BY TRANSLATING THE MESSENGER CODE INTO PROPER PROTEIN FORMAT
1953 - YEAR WATSON AND CRICK DISCOVERED THE STRUCTURE OF DNA
ADENINE, THYMINE, GUANINE, CYTOSINE - FOUR NUCLEOTIDE BASES
ERWIN CHARGAFF - 1950'S SCIENTIST TRYING TO SOLVE THE STRUCTURE OF THE DNA
ROSALIND FRANKLIN - DISCOVERED THAT WET AND DRY DNA SAMPLES ARE OF DIFFERENT SHAPES WHICH MADE THE HELIX SHAPE
CHROMOSOMES - TIGHTLY COILED DNA WHICH HUMANS HAVE 23 OF
GENES - BROKEN DOWN CHROMOSOMES WHICH HAVE 70000\]
DNA SEQUENCING - FINDING THE ARRANGEMENT OF BASES
GEL ELECTOPHORESIS - RUNNING DNA OVER A GEL
DNA REPLICATION - COPYING THE CELLS DNA BEFORE IT DIVIDES
DNA - IT IS HEREDITARY MATERIAL IN HUMAN AND ALMOST ALL OTHER ORGANISMS
GENES - BASIC UNIT OF HEREDITY PASSED FROM PARENT TO CHILD
MRNA - MEANS "MESSENGER RIBONUCLEIC ACID" THAT CARRIES INFO FROM DNA WHERE IT SERVES AS A TEMPLATE FOR PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - PROCESS THAT CELLS USE TO CREATE PROTEIN
TRANSLATION - IT TELLS THE TO LINK AMINO ACID TOGETHER TO FORM PROTEIN
AMINO ACID - THE BUILDING BLOCK OF MATTER
SUGAR PHOSPHATE BACKBONE - STRUCTURAL FRAMEWORK OF NUCLEIC ACID INCLUDING DNA
HYDROGEN BONDS - COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRS OF GUAMINE W/ CYTOSINE AND ADINE WITH THYMINE CONNECT TO I=ONE ANOTHER
ACGT - FORM THE STRUCTURE OF DNA
CHROMOSOMES -DNA TIGHTLY COILED MANY TIMES
PROTEIN - IS DIRECTED TO THE AREAS OF THE CELL THAT REQUIRES INFORMATION
DNA SEQUENCING - DETERMINING EXACT SEQUENCE OF NUCELOTIDE BASES IN A DNA MOLECULE
GEL ELECTROPHORESIS - IS A LABORATORY METHOD USED TO SEPARATE MISTURE OF DNA,RNA, OR PROTEIN
KBP - UNIT OF LENGTH OF NUCLEIC ACID EQUAL TO 1000 BASE PAIRS
MKP - LENGTH OF NUCLEIC ACID EQUAL TO 1MILLION BASE PAIRS
