nucleotide bases

dna language consists of pairs of nucleotide bases, g always with c
|
|
|
codon
|
set of 3 nucleotide bases that spells out different proteins
|
|
|
dna replication
|
process of copying dna. dna is unzipped and nucleotide bases are matched to build a new strand on each old strand. the result is two identical dna molecules each containing one old and one new strand
|
|
|
gene expression
|
preocess of using dna to make proteins through transcription and then translation. can be thought of as turning your genotype into your phenotype
|
|
|
differntial gene expression
|
not all genes in your dna are expressed all the time. genes in your left hand express only the left hand gene even through each cell of your left hand contains your entire dna
|
|
|
polymerase
|
enzymes that put things together into polymers. dna polymerase makes dna during S phase in the cell cycle
|
|
|
transcription
|
the process of unzipping dna in the nucleus of a cell and copying it to create a strand of mRNA
