Document Summary
Q1: if a dna molecule contains 20% guanine (g), how much cytosine does it contain. Microscope designer and builder - he was convinced that he could see little people in a sperm sample. Concept of the gene was being played with by darwin: mendel - 1866. Chromosomes - early 20th century: watson and crick - 1953. Genotype determines the phenotype and therefore the dna determines protein. Structural - they make up the structure of the cell such as the cytoplasm or membranes. Metabolism and anabolism (building things up and breaking them down) Catabolic means to break down ( substrate --> b + c) A-->b-->c --> end result which is anabolic - build up. If we have a mutation of one of them, then we can"t make arginine and has to get it from food. The information- message in the dna to the ribosomes. A complementary copy of the code that is the dna strand is made into.
