A different recipe that makes the same type of food
The variable we measure in an experiment.
Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait
A synonym for a trait
Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes
The study of genetics and how traits are passed on to the next generation of organisms (kids)
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
The entire finished meal that is made up of 2 or more proteins: steak, potatoes, salad, and dessert
The variable we change in an experiment.
A physical description or characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Ex: eye color, hair color, etc
Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells
Builds the protein
DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus
