Document Summary
Scientific method: always be able to be falsifiable (proven wrong) Zygote: sperm and egg cells make it up. Gene: allele. codes on phenotype. portion of a nucleotide chain. Watson and crick ran with it and franklin didnt receive credit. x-ray diffriction: early way to see dna. Sugar and phosphate backbone: dna and rna nucleotide: sugar phosphate and base. Rna exists the nucleus: it then becomes messengers transfer dna: brings in peptide molecule peptides are made of amino acids peptide chain becomes protein molecule. Codon: anti codon: simple organisms, punnette squares , pea plants. Principal of segregation: your traits are independent to the ones from your parents. Locus: location of each allele receive: homozygous(tt) or dominate:(tt) Hox gene: segments of your body. determines if you have wings or legs. Directional selection: shifts the mean. (short and long wings of the sparrows after the storm) Sickle cell amentia: protects against malaria and caused by mosquitoes parasite.
