Document Summary
Diversity of life and the natural processes that produced this diversity. Focuses on how evolution works at level of phenotypes, genes and populations. Complex mix of membranes, molecules and tiny structures called. Contains hereditary material, known as chromosomes: paired rod-shaped structures in cell nucleus containing genes that transmit traits from generation to generation. Nucleic acid used to store genetic information that codes for the synthesis of. Four hydrogen-bonded bases: adenine (a), guanine (g), cytosine (c), A and t bond together; c and g bond together. Dictates synthesis of proteins that perform a wide variety of functions in the body. Works with structures in cell (ribosomes) that are critical for manufacture of proteins. Transports amino acids to ribosomes for the creation of proteins. Linear sequences of amino acids; building blocks of cells. Each protein has specific function determined by a blueprint stored in dna. Catalysis of all biochemical reactions is done by enzymes, which contain protein (digestion); and many more.
