DNA, Genes, and Chromosomes
DNA, Genes, and Chromosomes
- Differentiate between terms and use them correctly in context
- Understand that a gene is a short section of DNA that codes for a protein
- Genes are located on specific loci on chromosomes
- Alleles of genes lead to variation
- A sequence of three DNA bases (triplet) codes for an amino acid
- The genetic code is universal, non-overlapping, and degenerate
- Understand the difference between an exon and an intron
- The end product of a gene is a protein, which has implications if it changes.
