Central Dogma of Molecular Biology - DNA -> RNA -> Protein
This paradigm was formulated by Grancis Crick: First, a portion of the DNA, a gene, is
transcribed to produce a complementary strand of RNA; then RNA is translated into
protein
Codon - A specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of DNA or RNA that
provides genetic code information for a particular amino acid
DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living
organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic
information.
Dominant Allele - an allele that dominates or masks the presence of another allele and
