DNA+Vocabulary


 * Chromosomes || A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes. || [[image:chromosome-883.jpg width="224" height="225"]] ||
 * Cytosine || A compound found in living tissue as a constituent base of nucleic acids. || [[image:images.jpeg width="169" height="234"]] ||
 * Twisted Ladder || The form of DNA molecules || [[image:1__#$!@%!#__images.jpeg width="168" height="236"]] ||
 * Adenine || A compound that is one of the four constituent bases of nucleic acids. || [[image:2__#$!@%!#__images.jpeg width="212" height="187"]] ||


 * Nucleus || A dense organelle that is in the middle of most eukaryotic cells, typically a single rounded structure bounded by a double membrane, containing the genetic material such as DNA and RNA. || [[image:nucleus.gif width="274" height="272"]] ||
 * Nucleic Acids || Nucleic Acids: A complex organic substance that is present in living cells, especially DNA or RNA, whose molecules consists of many nucleotides linked in a long chain. ||  ||
 * Double Helix || A pair of parallel helices (helix plural form) intertwined around a common axis especially in the structure of the DNA molecule. || [[image:dna-double-helix.jpg width="649" height="285"]] ||
 * Hydrogen bond || Weak bonds that split during a DNA replication process. ||  ||
 * DNA || Stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It has a structure of a twisted ladder and carries genetic information about the organism. The genetic information comes from the organism's parents. || [[image:dna_500.jpg width="450" height="220"]] ||
 * DNA replication || It happens in the interphase and the cell makes a copy of its DNA for later on. || [[image:6a00e5500940a988340134805a3dac970c-500wi.jpg width="150" height="315"]] ||
 * Base pairs || When the nitrogen bases are together, they create a base pair. In a DNA, there is adenine and thymine. The two create a base pair. || [[image:base_pair_substitution.jpg width="455" height="347"]] ||
 * Trait || The different characteristics of an organism. The traits depend on the genes passed down from the parent to the offspring. || [[image:science2988.png width="207" height="298"]] ||

Ribonucleic acid || Plays important role in protein production. Found in cytoplasm and in the nucleus. It’s a Nucleic acid like DNA. ||  ||
 * Guanine || One of the four main Nitrogen Bases. Pairs up with Cytosine. Could be found in Nucleic acids-DNA and RNA. Part of the DNA formation. ||  ||
 * RNA- aka
 * Nitrogen bases || Make certain part of DNA or RNA molecule ||  ||
 * Cell division || 2 methods- Cell Cycle with mitosis in it or the meiosis way. ||  ||
