26
Different forms of a gene (e.g.
dominant or recessive).
27
building block of proteins
28
The order of amino acids in a protein; determines its structure and function.
29

40
exposed to antibiotics die
showing the antibiotic causes bacterial death.

42
controlled gene expression
43
A protein that receives signals and initiates a response.
44
