chromosomes Flashcards
chromosone
thread like structure that carries a cells DNA
nucleotides shi h make up DNA
G, T, A, C
describe the structure of DNA
double stranded DNA, couldd and complementary base pairs joined by weak hydrogen bonds
the complementary sequence
CTTGAAC
what is a gene
a small section of DNA
what is an allele
two versions of each gene present in the pait of chromosones
explain how DNA can be extravted from soya beans
mix salt water and detergent, mash up soya beans, mix the soya beans with salt water and detergent, leave for 15 minutes at 60°, filter sample, pout iced ethanol on the filtrate and the DNA will float yo the surface
describe the process of protein synthesis
RNA polymerase binds to non-coding, RNA polymerase produces complementary messanger RNA (mRNA)
mRNA attaches to ribosomes
