Quick Review NotesDNA to RNA to Protein

Genes are located on the DNA. DNA and some proteins makes up the chromosomes in

Eukaryotes.

Thus, genes are found on the chromosomes.

A gene is expressed when it is transcribed and translated into protein.

Biochemistry Introduction

So far this year we’ve learned about:

Ecosystems, Communities, Populations, and Individual Species/Organisms

We’ve learned all about the cells (Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote and Eukaryotic Plant Cells vs. Eukaryotic Animal Cells),.

The question now is……what makes up the cell?????
