Genetics - the science that studies how characteristics get passed form parent to offspring
Gene - A section of DNA that codes for the production of a protein or a portion of protein, thereby causing a trait
most of your characteristics come from a store house called DNA, DNA is mostly for making proteins. But the proteins it makes, is what makes you have blue eyes or green eyes, brown or blond hair, and other things! of course not all traits are made from DNA protein. if you never pick up a weight in your life, you’re not going to be very strong no matter what your ability is. the ability, or range of how strong you can be come from you DNA proteins, but it’s up you to make your strength at the bottom of that picked scale or at the top. a gene also helps with traits, like proteins. but genes are the coding for a particular genetic trait or tendency.
there are three factors that make up who you are
Genetic Factors - proteins & genes
Environmental Factors - surroundings & situations
Spiritual Factors - relationship with god & understanding of the gospel
all of which help make you, you. however at the scientific point of view Genetic, is the most important factor, we can decide for ourselves.
Protein Syntheses - how you get the protiens
First comes Transcription - In transcription part of the DNA of a cell unwinds itself and opens up for a RNA ( a strand like DNA but without the deoxyribose it made with, instead is has ribose. Also it has it has a different 4th nucleotide base. DNA has adenine, cytosine guanine and thymine while RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine.) The strand opens up and lets the RNA in to make an opposite copy of the DNA, the RNA take the copy to the ribosomes to make protein.
Then comes Translation - In the ribosome,tRNA strands(trancefer RNA) attract with mRNA strands( messenger RNA) that have a codon (a section of mRNA that refers to a specific amino acid) that an anticodon ( a section of tRNA) and they bonds to. The tRNA strands bond with mRNA, pulling amino acids behind them. Then the amino acids have to bond and then after that happens many many times, you finally get a protein!
There was more in this module, but this is all i’m going to write. If you want to know more go read it yourself.
