Proteins
How does the body make protein?
The human body makes proteins through a process called gene expression, which involves two main stages: transcription and translation.
What are chromosomes made of?
DNA and proteins.
What is a asexual reproduction
a method of reproduction that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
What are traits
Traits are the physical and behavioral characteristics of an organism.
What is a gene?
A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait.
Can we survive without protein?
No, the human body cannot survive without protein. It's a macronutrient essential for numerous bodily functions and cannot be stored, meaning it must be consumed regularly. Without protein, the body would experience severe consequences, including muscle loss, weakened immune system, and potentially even death.
how many chromosomes do we have?
46
What is sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is when two parents combine their genetic material (DNA) to create a new offspring.
What determines the inheritance of a trait?
When Parents pass on traits or characteristics through their genes
What are mutations?
Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of a gene.
What are the building blocks of protein
amino acids
Where are chromosomes found?
Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Both of them perform the cell division process or mitosis for cell growth and development.
What are inherited traits?
Inherited traits are characteristics passed down from parents to offspring through their genes. Examples include eye color, hair color, and height.
What are genes made of?
Genes are composed of segments of DNA.
