Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 chromosome | a threadlike body in the cell nucleus that carries the genes in a linear order |
| defects | a failing or deficiency |
| deformities | an appearance that has been spoiled or is misshapen |
| differentiation | (biology) the structural adaptation of some body part for a particular function |
| DNA | (biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix |
| encode | convert ordinary language into code |
| enzyme | any of several complex proteins that are produced by cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions |
| expressed | precisely and clearly expressed or readily observable |
| external | outward features |
| genes | sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait |
| genetic | tending to occur among members of a family usually by heredity |
| heritable | that can be inherited |
| linked | connected by a link, as railway cars or trailer trucks |
| mutations | change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA |
| polymer | a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers |
| protein | A three-dimensional biological polymer constructed from a set of 20 different monomers called amino acids. |
| reactions | The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction. |
| regulation | the act of controlling or directing according to rule |
| repair | the act of putting something in working order again |
| replication | the act of making copies |
| sequence | the action of following in order |
| structural | concerned with systematic structure in a particular field of study |
| synthesis | combining parts or separate things into a whole; the whole so formed |
| transferred | passed from one to another |
