Document Summary
Focuses on how evolution works at level of phenotypes, genes, and populations. Somatic cells: most cells in body (except sex cells) Cytoplasm: complex mix of membranes, molecules, and tiny structures called organelles. Paired rod-shaped structures in cell nucleus containing genes that transmit traits from generation to generation. Deoxyribonucleic acid: nucleic acid used to store genetic information that codes for the synthesis of proteins. Nasa reported that meteorites found on earth, contain nucleobases may have been formed in outer space. Dictate synthesis of proteins that perform a win variety of functions in body. Work with structures in cell (ribosomes) that are critical for manufacture of proteins transport amino acids to ribosomes for the creation of proteins. Linear sequences of amino acids; building blocks of cells. Each protein has a specific function that is determined by blueprint stored in dna. For example: catalysis of all biochemical reactions is done by enzymes.
