Q

nuclear pores

A

-in both-openings in the nuclear membrane that allow only certain materials into and out of the nucleus

17
Q

eukaryotic cells/prokaryokes

A

animal cells and bacteria cells

18
Q

DNA

A

a biological molecule found in the cell nucleus that carries genetic information composed of sugar, phosphate, and four different bases (guanine,cytocine,adenine, and thymine) passed on from generation to generation during reproduction.

19
Q

what does DNA look like

A

the to strands or sides of the dNA ladder wrap around each other in a spiral shape that scientists call a double helix

20
Q

The 4 nitrogen bases

A

the steps of the ladder are made OF 4 nitrogen bases which are represented by letters. A - adenine G-guanine C-cytocine T-thymine. C-G A-T

21
Q

DNA is stored in chromatin

A

most of the time, DNA exists in the nucleus in the form of chromatin

22
Q

Chromatin

A

substance within the nucleus that contains DNA and proteins

23
Q

DNA,chromatin,and chromosome REALATONSHIP

A

DNA is contained in chromatin which coils up and folds up to make chromosomes and at the end of the x looking chromosomes are the genes. then the chromosomes go into the nucleus of the cell

24
Q

Genes

A

segment of DNA located at a specific place on a chromosome each contain information to produce proteins.

25
Q

gene mutation

A

a change in the specific order of the A,G,C,T bases that make up a particular gene

26
Q

gene therapy

A

techniques developed to alter mutated genes in order to make the function normally

27
Q

the steps in which protein is created

A

The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. … Through the processes of transcription and translation, information from genes is used to make proteins.

28
Q

where are proteins made?**

A

proteins are made in the cell by ribosomes. ribosomes are made by large structure in the nucleus called the nucleolus - produced in ribosomes

29
Q

how many chromosomes to humans have

A

46 arranged in 23 pairs

30
Q

what instructions to genes carry

A

to make proteins

31
Q

how many proteins are in the human body

A

100 000

32
Q

proteins are made by

A

Messanger RNA

33
Q

functions of DNA

A

stores genetic martial, stores instructions on how to form cells for chemicals and structures that cells must make.

34
Q

chromosomes

A

a threadlike structure in the cell nucleus that carries genes
