The genetic code
The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded within genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) is translated intoproteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells
Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.
Each nucleotide sub-unit consists of a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and one of the 4 nitrogenous nucleotide bases.

What do genes on the same chromosome do?
code of different functions =)
What is the name of genes that are carried on the same chromosome?
The genes that are carried on the same chromosome are called as the linked genes.
How genes affect characteristics?
It is a polygenic character
DNA sequences that code for proteins are called what?
genes
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
What do genes on the same chromosome do?
code of different functions =)
Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?
Two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are in the same locations or loci.
If two genes in a gene pair are for the same trait what will that trait be?
The question should be "If two alleles for a gene are the same, what phenotype will the organism have?" Answer: If the two alleles are for the dominant phenotype, the organism will exhibit the dominant phenotype. If the two alleles are for the recessive phenotype, the organism will have the recessive phenotype.
Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same trait?
Homozygous.
What type of molecule dose genes they code for?
Genes code for proteins
All organisms share the same genitic code Is this a good or bad thing?
Animals don't share the same genetic code, we share the same chemical building blocks - aminoacids that make genes.
Explain the difference between a polygenic character and a complex character?
the difference is that a polygenic character is is influenced by several genes and they show many variation, complex characters are influences strongly the environment and genes.
What is the name of genes that are carried on the same chromosome?
The genes that are carried on the same chromosome are called as the linked genes.
How genes affect characteristics?
It is a polygenic character
Are hormones the basic units of heredity?
Not at all. Genes are. Everyone produces the same hormones but everyone has a unique genetic code
DNA sequences that code for proteins are called what?
genes
What are chromosomes that contain genes which code for the same traits?
Yes they do, but these genes may be both dominant, both recessive or one dominant and its counterpart on another chromosome recessive.
