Constitution quiz

🧬 Quick Study Guide

• 🗺️ The constitution, or genome, contains the complete set of genetic instructions for a cell or organism.
• 🧱 These instructions are encoded in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
• 🧪 DNA is organized into structures called chromosomes, which are found in the nucleus (in eukaryotic cells).
• 📝 Genes are specific sequences of DNA that code for proteins.
• 🔑 Proteins carry out most of the functions of the cell.
• 💻 DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete copy of the constitution during cell division.
• 📚 Gene expression involves transcription (DNA to RNA) and translation (RNA to protein).
