Melanin 4.2 Quiz

Chromosome

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

• Messenger RNA (carries DNA info out of the nucleus)

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

• mRNA -> protein

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