What do organisms inheret from their parents? - Genetic information specifying structure and function, Where do cells arise from? - Preexisting cells. Genetic material must be replicated and passed from parent to progeny cells, Dominant allele - determines phenotype of organism, when theres more than one allele (Homozygous), Recessive allele - masked by dominant allele, Genotype - genetic composition of an organism, Phenotype - physical trait of expressed genes, What do genes determine? - Protein structure, What is protein structure responsible for? - Directing cell metabolism through their activity as enzymes, What technique did Roselyn Franklin use to show the double helix structure? - X-Ray crystallography, Each strand of parental DNA is a template for - a daughter strand using complementary base pairs. , DNA nucleotide sequencing specifies what? - The order of amino acids in a protein, RNA appears to be - an intermediate suggesting RNA could be synthesized from a DNA template., Central dogma of cell biology  - genetic informations flows from DNA --> RNA--> Protein, Transcription - Synthesis of an RNA molecule from DNA, Translation - Synthesis of a peptide chain from mRNA template, Simplest hypothesis for relationships between genes and enzymes - The order of nucleotides in DNA specified the order of amino acids in a protein., mRNAs (Messenger) - RNA molecules that serve as templates for protein synthesis. (Translation), RNA polymerase - Enzyme that catalyzes RNA synthesis., rRNAs (Ribosomal) - A component of ribosome, catalyst for peptide bond., tRNAs (Transfer) - Adapter molecules that align amino acids along the mRNA template. , miRNAs (Micro) or siRNA (Short interfering) - Double stranded RNA used to inhibit translation of mRNA., Genetic information - Nucleic acids --> proteins, Genetic code - correspondence between nucleotide triplets and proteins amino acids. , Start codon - AUG, Stop codon - UAA, UAG, UGA,
