What is a GENE?
• A SERIES of BASES on a DNA molecule which CODES for a series of AMINO ACIDS in a POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN
What BONDS are between AMINO ACIDS and what do they FORM?
• PEPTIDE BONDS
• forming a POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN
What are NON- CODING sections of DNA called
• INTRONS
What are CODING regions of DNA called?
• EXONS
What is NON- OVERLAPPING?
• Each TRIPLET is only read ONCE and TRIPLETS don’t SHARE any BASES
What is DEGENERATE?
• More than one TRIPLET CODES for the SAME AMINO ACID( can prevent mutations)
