genetic material is a cell that can be turn into a amino acid to a protein.
Genes joined together make up a chromosome. Chromosomes contain the genetic material that determines an individual's traits and characteristics.
DNA and protein capsids make up a virus particle. The DNA (or RNA) carries the genetic material of the virus, while the protein capsid provides protection and helps the virus to infect host cells.
Gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for abnormal genes or to make a beneficial protein.
The nucleic acids DNA and RNA make up genetic material.
The hereditary material of a cell is held in the nucleus, specifically within the DNA molecules that make up the chromosomes. DNA carries genetic information that determines an organism's traits and functions.
Chromatin is the material dispersed throughout the nucleus composed of DNA and protein. It consists of a complex of DNA and histone proteins that together make up the genetic material of the cell. Chromatin regulates gene expression and plays a key role in the packaging and organization of DNA within the nucleus.
This could be answered a few ways, but at the most specific, it is the codons that are translated via tRNA which make a protein. Each codon, represented by 3 nucleotides, "codes" for an amino acid. A string of amino acids make a protein, thus the nucleotides in the codons determines the product. To get to this point, requires transcription from DNA into mRNA and then mRNA is translated into the amino acids, so you could say that DNA itself determines the protein produced; however, it is actually the codons in the mRNA that are used to make the protein. The section of DNA that is transcribed is called a gene, so you could also say that it is the gene that determines what is produced.
An individual's actual genetic make-up is called their genotype. It refers to the specific combination of genes that an individual carries in their DNA, which determines their unique genetic characteristics.
Controlles the genetic make up of DNA
A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that contains the instructions to make a functional product like a protein, while a genome is the complete set of an organism's genetic material, including all its genes. Think of a gene as a single instruction in a recipe book, and the genome as the entire recipe book.
Due to bacterial transformation, bacteria may pick up genetic material present in the environment and incorporate this genetic material within a plasmid. The bacteria is able to make use of this genetic material, transcribe, translate and make what ever protein that is coded for
