DNA
Photo by: rolffimages. The genetic code allows an organism to translate the genetic information found in its chromosomes into usable proteins. Stretches of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are built from four different nucleotide bases, while proteins are made from twenty unique subunits called amino acids.  It is the purposeful addition of a foreign gene or genes to the genome of an organism. A gene holds information that will give the organism a trait. Genetic engineering is not bound by the limitations of traditional plant breeding. Genetic engineering physically removes the DNA from one organism and transfers the gene(s) for one or a few traits into another.  Most of the hereditary information that determines the traits of an organism is located in a.only those cells. What hereditary material in the nucleus of the cell is reponsible for passing traits on to the next generation. More questions.  Answered in cells. These are cells where the genetic materials is contained in memebrane bound nuclei. EUKARYOTE. turtle. Answered in cells. This is the transport of material out of an cell b means of a sac or vesicle that first engulfs the material and then is extruted through an opening in the cell membrane. This is a macromolicule that holds cell information in a coded form made of sugar phosphate and nitrogen contaning bases. NUCLEIC ACID. cells. Total Views: 32040. Teams This Deck Belongs To.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diˌɒksiˌraɪbɵ.njuːˌkleɪ.ɨk ˈaesɪd/ ; ˈæSɪD) dna is a molecule that carries most of the genetic instructions used in the, development functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many. viruses Cell division is essential for an organism to grow, but, when a cell divides, it must replicate the DNA in its genome so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic information as their parent. The double-stranded structure of DNA provides a simple mechanism for DNA replication. Genes. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Genes hold the information necessary to build and maintain an organism's cells and pass genetic traits to offspring. Cells use genes to synthetize proteins. Living beings depend on genes as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains. Genetics is the study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms. It is generally considered a field of biology, but it intersects frequently with many of the life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.  DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary genetic material for most living organisms. DNA is present in cells in the form of a double-stranded helix that is composed of long strands of nucleotides. The unique sequence of nucleotides within the DNA molecule stores the genetic information. A process by which an organism is genetically changed, resulting in a mutation, which is a change in the DNA sequence of a gene. It may occur naturally, for example, due to natural exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light or chemicals; or it can happen deliberately for the purpose of increasing genetic variation of a species. Transfer of information plays a fundamental role in all living organisms. When, for example, insects carry pollen from one flower to another, this is in the first place an information-carrying process (genetic information is transferred); the actual material employed is of no concern.  A gene is a sequence of DNA that contains genetic information and can influence the phenotype of an organism. Within a gene, the sequence of bases along a DNA strand defines a messenger RNA sequence, which then defines one or more protein sequences. Cell division is essential for an organism to grow, but, when a cell divides, it must replicate the DNA in its genome so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic information as their parent. The double-stranded structure of DNA provides a simple mechanism for DNA replication.
