Name \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Study Guide Organism Traits (7) Vocabulary Adenine- One of the purine nitrogenous bases that make up DNA and RNA. Pairs with Thymine. amino acid - the building blocks of proteins Chromosome - thread-like strands that contain hundreds, or even thousands, of genes Cytosine - One of the pyrimidine nitrogenous bases that make up DNA and RNA. Pairs with Guanine. double helix - The physical structure of DNA. Gene - The basic unit of heredity that codes for traits. Guanine - One of the purine nitrogenous bases that make up DNA and RNA. Pairs with cytosine. Mutation - a mistake or a change in a living thing\'s DNA. Protein - an important nutrient made of microscopic building blocks called amino acids Thymine - One of the pyrimidine nitrogenous bases that make up DNA and RNA. Pairs with Adenine. Agriculture - another word for farming gene splicing - a post-transcriptional modification in which a single gene can code for multiple proteins genetic engineering - a process by which the genes of a living thing are modified, or changed gene modification - the process of altering the genetic makeup of an organism Inheritance - the process of transmission of genes from parent to offspring selective breeding - choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics sexual reproduction - the production of new organisms by the combination of genetic information of two individuals of different sexes 1. a. 2. b. c. d. 3. e. f. 4. g. h. 5. i. j. k. l. m. 6. n. 7. o. 8. p. 9. q. 10. r. 11. s. 12. t. 13. u. 14. v. 15. w. 16. x. 17. y. z. a. b. c. 18. d. e. 19. f. g. 20. h. i. 21. j. i. ii. k. iii. iv.
