Ex: eye color, hair color, etc A synonym for a trait A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes Give cells structure, shape, specific processes, involved in the expressions of traits, and are the building blocks of traits All the recipe books in the house Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells Organizes all the recipes in a recipe book together (the binder) One recipe in the recipe book (makes the proteins) Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait
