Melanin Unit #2

Chromosome

• A visual display of chromosomes that have been arranged by size and genes on the chromosome

• Thread-like structure made of DNA and proteins that carries genetic information

• Process of making proteins

• Traits determined by genes found on chromosomes 1-22

Exon

• Portions of mRNA that carry useful information

• A molecule that is made up of amino acids connected by peptide bond

• Having two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent)

• a 3-base code on the mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid

Karyotype

• Traits determined by genes found on chromosomes 1-22

• a 3-base code on the mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid

• Transfer RNA (matches up each codon to transfer the correct amino acid)

• A visual display of chromosomes that have been arranged by size and genes on the chromosome

Protein

• A molecule that is made up of amino acids connected by peptide bonds

• a 3-base code on the mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid
