TermDefinition
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (Zukhraf J) A molecule found in the nucleus. Acts as a code or instructions that determine everything about a cell.
Chromatin (Zukhraf J) DNA strands can take form into this by coiling up together. is 30 - 120 nm thick.
Chromosomes (Zukhraf J) Made mostly of DNA. Chromatin packs/doubles up to create this. 300 - 700 nm thick.
Nitrogen Base pairs (Zukhraf J) Genetic code or instructions come from a very long chain of this. Each of these pair with each other specifically.
Adenine (Zukhraf J) 1 of the 4 Nitrogen bases. Pairs with only Thymine
Thymine (Zukhraf J) 1 of the 4 Nitrogen bases. Pairs with only Adenine

Enzymes (Zukhraf J) A protein that works as a catalyze in speeding up reactions in your body.
Genetic screening (Zukhraf J) Process of testing individuals whether they have any genes relating to genetic disorders.
Genetically Modified Organisms (Zukhraf J) Transferring genes from one organism to a different organism to promote protein production that would not normally be found there before.
Transgenic organism (Zukhraf J) An organism who's genetic information have been altered from one organism to another. Usually to solve problems.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
