Document Summary
Modern synthesis of evolution: how does evolution work at the gene level in individuals across species. Somatic cells: most cells in body except sex cells: gametes: sperm and egg cells, cytoplasm, nucleus : contains hereditary material. Chromosome: dna tightly wound together to form a rod-shaped structure in the nucleus that contains genes that transmits traits. Dna: deoxyribonucleic acid, nasa (2011) reported they found a meteorite that contained some of the base pairs found in our. Dna: only contains code that builds protein. Involved in dictating protein synthesis: regulates expression of other genes. Linear sequences of amino acids: has a very specific function; determined by the blueprint in dna, allow us to live. Transcription: copies one side of dna, mrna (the copy of dna) moves from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Codons: genetic information coded in a specific way using three nucleotide bases.
