Document Summary
Genomics: the study of the functions and interactions of many genes or gene sequences. Proteomics: the study of proteins produced in a particular cell type under particular conditions (particular cell at a particular point in time) Diseasome: a diagrammatic tool to link diseases with similar symptoms and gene expression. Chromosome theory of inheritance: chromosomes, which contain genes, are the carriers of the genetic material. Chromosome: dna + histone and non-histone proteins (thousands); 23 chromosomes in a haploid human genome. Karyotype: a display of a genome in size order of chromosomes (1-22; then sex chromosomes) Heterochromatin: dark bands; not expressed part of chromosome. Centromere: dot in the center; unique and does not code for mrna. Telo-centric chromosomes (in monkeys, not in humans!) Heredity: transmission of traits and biological information between generations. Genetics: study of inherited traits, their variation, and how they are transmitted. Genome: all the dna, both the genes and the regions between the genes, in an organism.
