Ex: eye color, hair color, etc Builds the protein The building blocks of traits. Gives cells structure, shape, specific processes, and are involved in the expressions of traits. The entire finished meal that is made up of 2 or more proteins: steak, potatoes, salad, and dessert Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans A synonym for a trait All the ingredients in an entire meal together: steak, salad, dessert A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes The variable we measure in an experiment. The variable we change in an experiment.
