Intro To Genetics

We have started our genetics unit - covering the basic understanding of the structure and importance of DNA. Many new and important vocabulary terms were introduced. These terms include the following;

DNA
Chromosomes
Genes
Base Pairs (AT and CG)
Autosomes (Chromosomes 1-22 in Humans)
Sex Chromosomes (XX = Girl, XY = Boy)
Proteins

The Tour of the Basics Flash file is incredible important to review!
