| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Genome | Blueprint for the body |
| Genotype | Genetic make-up of an organism |
| Phenotype | Physical attributes of an organism Includes observable and non-observable traits |
| Gene Expression | Getting from gene to protein |
| Transcription | DNA --> RNA |
| Translation | Genetic material --> Protein |
| DNA | Blueprint |
| mRNA | Messenger |
| Ribosomes | Contractor - translates directions |
| tRNA | Builders |
| Protein Synthesis | DNA is transcribed to RNA |
| tRNA | mRNA is translated into protein using this |
| Proteins | Gives the organisms traits |
| 1 codon (1 amino acid) | 3 bases = |
| Codon | Every group of 3 mRNA pair |
| AUG | Start Codon |
| Antithrombin | Protein that helps prevent blood clots (thrombosis) |
| Antithrombin Gene | Expressed by cells in the liver |
| Allele | Different versions of a gene Influence phenotype |
