1
Q

allele

A

an alternate form of a gene that is located in a specific locus

2
Q

dominant

A

an allele that is expressed when two different alleles or two dominant are present

3
Q

recessive

A

the allele that is only expressed

4
Q

chromosome

A

structure of nucleic and protein found in the nucleus of the most living cells carrying genetic information in the form genes

5
Q

rna polymerase

A

dna and attaches to mRNA

6
Q

mRNA

A

a version of rna that carries the dna information outside is the nucleus

7
Q

promoter

A

the region of dna that singnafies the beginning of the gene

8
Q

terminator

A

the region of dna that signifies the end of the gene

9
Q

ribosome

A

the site where translation happens

10
Q

tRNA

A

a version of Rna that attaches amino acids to the MRNA strand

11
Q

start codon

A

a region of mrna that starts the amino acid chain

AUG= Methionine

12
Q

stop codon

A

a sequence of 3 mrna that stops the amino acids sequence

13
Q

translation

A

the process of mRNA becoming and amino acid chain

14
Q

transcription

A

the process of getting a mRNA strand from dna

happens in the nucleus

15
Q

anticodon

A

a region of trna that is the complementary codon to the mrna sequence

16
Q

promoter

A

start of a gene

17
Q

terminator

A

end of a gene
