Genes
Sequence of DNA bases that codes for sepecific amino acid sequence of polypeptide
Homologous chromosomes
Chromosomes with the same gene at the same loci
locus
A fixed position of a gene
Base triplets
sequence of 3 DNA bases
Codon
sequence of 3 mRNA bases
Anticodon
sequence of 3 tRNA bases
Degenerative
Same amino acid could be coded by different triplets
Non-overlapping
Each base is only read once as part of specific triplet
Universal
The same triplet code for the same amino acid in all organisms
Exons
Base sequence that codes for amino acids
Introns
Base sequence that doesn’t code for amino acids
Multiple repeats
Same base sequence occur again and again
Genome
Complete set of genes in a cell
Proteome
Full range of protein a cell is able to produce
Transcription
Transcribing DNA code into a strand of mRNA
