Document Summary
Chapter 1: genetics, the study of biological information. Complementarity: g-c and a-t base pairing in dna through hydrogen bonds. Protein: a linear polymer of amino acids that folds into a particular shape. Genome: the e(cid:374)ti(cid:396)ety of a(cid:374) o(cid:396)ga(cid:374)is(cid:373)"s he(cid:396)edita(cid:396)y i(cid:374)fo(cid:396)(cid:373)atio(cid:374) Gene: dna information for a single function, such as a protein. Uracil: the only one of the four bases in rna that is not in dna. Exon: part of a gene that contains protein coding information. Dna: a double-stranded polymer of nucleotides that stores the inherited blueprint of an. Intron: part of a gene that does not contain protein coding information organism. Rna: a polymer of nucleotides that is an intermediary in the synthesis of proteins from. They are made up of genes and proteins just like humans and hence undergo somewhat similar pathways. They are also much easier to manipulate to find info on.
