Document Summary
Genetics: science that deals with the study of heredity and variation. Heredity: transmission of traits between parent to offspring. Variation: differences between individuals in a biological population. Animal breeding: science that deals with the application of genetic principles to livestock improvement. Genes: on the chromosomes, basic unit of inheritance nucleus. Codes for sequences of amino acids and how to regulate it. Series of 3 nitrogenous bases on mrna, called a codon. Ugc codes to go and get amino acids to connect to specific codon. Audio recording started: 8:03 am thursday, september 28, 2017. Series of 3 nitrogenous bases on trna, called an anticodon. Translation: the process of creating a protein where the mrna and trna meet at the ribosomes. Locus (loci (p)): location where genes are on chromosome. Genes at the same locus affect the same trait but may have different forms (alleles) Are at the same locus with the same function but in different forms.
