Genome
- is an organism's complete set of genetic instructions or genetic information.
- It consists of chromosomes that has nucleotide sequences of DNA
- It contains all of the information needed to build that organism and allow it to grow and develop
Genes:
- The basic unit of heredity occupies a specific location on a chromosome.
- consists of DNA, code for a specific protein leading to a particular characteristic.
DNA:
- functional and heredity unit
- made of nucleotides
Chromosomes:
- A complex molecule made of protein and genes
- stores information has genes like beads on strings.
Nucleotide:
- unit of nucleic acid or DNA
- coding parts
- has four bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).
Thus, the correct terms are:
You can think of the <u>GENOME</u> as life's instruction manual.
Genes are the <u>SENTENCES</u> in life's institution manual.
DNA is the <u>ALPHABET</u> in life's instruction manual.
Chromosomes are the <u>CHAPTERS</u> in life's instruction manual.

Complete Question:
The container of a breakfast cereal usually lists the number of calories and the amounts of protein, carbohydrate, and fat contained in one serving of the cereal. The amounts for two common cereals are given below. Suppose a mixture of these two cereals is to be prepared that contains exactly 295 calories, 9 g of protein, 48 g of carbohydrate, and 8 g of fat. a. Set up a vector equation for this problem. Include a statement of what the variables in your equation represent. b. Write an equivalent matrix equation, and then determine if the desired mixture of the two cereals can be prepared.
Nutrient General mills cheerios Quaker 100% Natural cereal
Calories 110 130
Protein (g) 4 3
Carbohydrate (g) 20 18
Fat (g) 2 5
Solution:
Representation of data in equation.
x1 is the number of servings of Cheerios and
x2 is the number of servings of Natural Cereal
110
+ 130
= 295
4
+ 3
= 9
20
+ 18
= 48
2
+ 5
= 8

You could have Mitosis and Meiosis circles which overlap.
inside Mitosis: asexual reproduction, cell divides once, 2 daughter cells
inside Meiosis: sexual reproduction, cell divides twice, 4 daughter cells
inside the overlap (Both): DNA replicates, growth and repair
