Document Summary
Mitochondria organelle in cytoplasm that converts energy to a usable form contains mtdna. Mitochondria dna is inherited only from the mother"s side. Nucleus large organelle in eukaryotic (multicellular organisms) cells surrounded by the nuclear membrane contains chromosomes (inside nucleus) Chromosome the strand of dna found in the nucleus that contains genes. Gene basic unit of inheritance, a sequence of dna on a chromosome coded to produce a specific protein. Dna (deoxyribonucleic acid) a double stranded molecule that provides the genetic code for an organism. Molecules found in the nucleus that contain genetic information. Dna needed to code for a specific protein. Allele alternate form of a gene. Locus specific point on the dna strand where a particular gene is located. Each pair contains information governing the same trait(s), though not necessarily the same information. Two alleles homologous chromosomes can be identical. Refers to specific trait we"re looking at. Two alleles on homologous chromosomes can be different.
