Ribonucleic Acid
14
it is an important molecule in protein synthesis
RNA
15
this makes the proteins that living things need to grow
DNA
16
this directly codes for amino acid
RNA
17
it acts as messenger to DNA and RIbosome
RNA
18
the major function of this is to get protein as an end product
The Central Dogma
19
it is the synthesis of our RNA copy of a segment of DNA
Transcription
20
it is the process of translating the sequence of mRNA to a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis
Translation

both DNA and RNA are polymers of repeating called?
Nucleotides
23
these are nitrogenous bases
Nucleotides
24
what are the combination of bases that encodes genetic information
adenine=thymine | cytosine=guanne
25
this RNA carries the instructions for protein synthesis to the sites of synthesis
Messenger RNA or mRNA
26
this RNA combines with proteins to form ribosomes
Ribosomal RNA or rRNA
27
this RNA delivers amino acids to the sites of protein synthesis
Transfer RNA or tRNA
28
this is the segment of DNA strand that encodes for the protein production of different protens
Gene
29
the structures that are product of DNA coiling in association with proteins
Chromosomes
30
it is a pair of genes that occupy a specific location on a particular chromosome

it is the product of mutation
Alleles
35
it is defined as any heritable change in the DNA sequence and are the source of all genetic variation
Mutation
36
it is the observable traits or features of an organism
Phenotype
37
it is a set of alleles that are given trait carried by an organism
Genotype
38
it is a phenomenon of change occurring within the DNA sequence or nucleotides
Mutation

it is the division of cells
Meiosis
46
one somatic cell give rise to 2 new ones
Mitosis
47
it gives rise to 4 new ones
Meiosis
48
reduce chromosome number by half and create 4 haploid cell
Meiosis
