Genetics 

Chromosomes 

Genetic abnormalities

The study of heredity and the variation of inherited traits.

Found in nucleus of the cell, inherited from parents which carry genes and DNA that determine heredity.

Organized picture of chromosomes with their homologous pair. 

Karyotype

Genes: A segment of DNA occupying a specific place on a chromosone. Genome = gene sequence.

DNA: Is the genetic material determining the make up of all living things.

Nucleotide: A strand of DNA

Nitrogen bases

1 nucleotide

Ribosomes: Found in cytoplasm of the cell and the area where protein synthesis occurs.

Proteins: Are produced by combining amino acids together. Proteins will code for traits, enzymes, blood types etc. The protein produced depends on the DNA a person inherited.

Amino Acids: Building blocks of protein. There are 20 amino acids produced from the 64 codons which exist.

Past Exam Questions1.DNA is the molecule that allows us to code all genetic characteristics. During protein synthesis, new molecules are formed to facilitate this process. A strand of DNA is shown below.
