Document Summary

Sequence of nucleotides coding for a protein: allele: A variant of a single gene, inherited at a particular locus. The location in the dna occupied by a particular gene: homozygote: An individual having two copies of the same allele at a genetic locus: heterozygote: An individual having two different alleles at a genetic locus: phenotype: The characters of an organism, whether due to a genotype or environment: genotype: The set of genes possessed by an individual. Dna is organised in chromosomes in the cell nucleus, but additional dna is also present in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Do not have nuclei, and dna exists as a double-stranded loop. Discovery: double helical arrangement of dna was discovered by watson and crick in 1953; received nobel. Prize in physiology or medicine in 1962 with maurice wilkins; rosalind franklin, her work led to the discovery of dna structure; however, she died in 1958 of ovarian cancer: the 2 nucleotide chains are in the opposite direction.
