Document Summary

Contains dns, which directs all metabolic activity of cell. Organised into chromosomes. (23 pairs, one pair from your mother, one pair from your father). One pair (23) is the sex chromosomes (x&y male) (x&x female). Although every normal cell (except egg and sperm) in your body has a complete copy of your dna, not every cell will express this gene. Gene: sections of dna that code for one polypeptide/ characteristic. Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of dna is copied into a new molecule of messenger rna (mrna). Dna safely and stably stores genetic material in the nuclei of cells as a reference, or template. Makes up simple cell along with cytoplasm + organelles. Membrane protein molecules give cells immunological identity. Protein assembly machine consisting of rna and proteins. String together amino acids in the correct sequence (determined by the genetic code) to make proteins.
