Document Summary
Focuses on how evolution works at level of phenotypes, genes and populations. Somatic cells: most cells in body (except sex cells) Gametes: sex cell (sperm and ovum or eggs) Cytoplasm: complex mix of membranes, molecules, and tiny structures called organelles. Paired rod-shaped structures in cell nucleus containing genes that transmit traits from generation to generation. From one generation to its offspring, the genetic material is passed. Deoxyribonucleic acid: nucleic acid used to store genetic information that codes for the synthesis of protiens. Four bases: adenine (a), guanine (g), thiamine (t) , cytosine (c) C is always found with g, and a with t. Linear sequences of amino acids, building blocks of cells. Each protein has specific function determined by blueprint" stored in dna. Catalysis of all biochemical reactions is done by enzymes, which contain protein (digestion); and many more. You need them to live and to break things down/move them around the body.
