1st part of LQ2
3 main steps of central dogma
replication
transcription
translation
the entirety of all our genetic material
genome
project where they were able to establish and read the sequences in an entire human person
human genome project
the most organized system that our bodies have designed to organize our DNA strands
chromosome
what does chromo mean
colored
what does soma mean
body
what do u call the first 22 pairs in the body
autosomes
the last 1 pair
allosome
these are proteins that are always clumped together
histones
these are responsible for coiling our dna strands
histones
After coiling around histones, the DNA forms larger coils, eventually organizing into structures known as ————-.
chromatin
parts of a chromosome
arms, centromere, telomere, *deletion
these are the short arms
p arm
these are the long arms
q arm
the binding structure in the
middle
centromere
Protection of the ends of the
chromosome arms.
telomere
telomere gets damaged, the the chromosome gets ?
deleted
