BIOL 2000 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Dna Replication, Allele, Mutation
Document Summary
Genotype: the specific allelic composition of a cell or organism. Phenotype: the detectable manifestation of a particular genotype. Multicellular organisms cells are derived from a single cell develop complex. In unicellular organisms, responses to different input possible and diverse structures. Provide an extraordinary diversity of immolation that can be translated into cellular structure and function. Each dna strand is the template for the production of a new strand- result is two dna molecules identical to the origin: provide an extraordinary diversity of information, four kinds of nucleotides (a,t,g,c) within a dna molecule. Alleles are different forms of a gene. Geneotype: the specific allelic composition of a cell or organism: normal dna sequence: wild type allele, altered dna sequence= mutant allele. Phenotype: the detectable manifestation of a particular genotype: a mutant allele (genotype_ produces a malfunctioning enzyme that leads to albinism (phenotype.
