Genome
23 pairs of chromosomes
The study of genetics and how traits are passed on to the next generation of organisms (kids)
Builds the protein
The variable we measure in an experiment.
Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism
A physical description or characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Ex: eye color, hair color, etc
Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait
The entire finished meal that is made up of 2 or more proteins: steak, potatoes, salad, and dessert
DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus
A synonym for a trait
The variable we keep the same
A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins
A different recipe that makes the same type of food
Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans
The variable we change in an experiment.
Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes
The building blocks of traits. Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits.
All the ingredients in an entire meal together: steak, salad, dessert
Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells
