Chromosomes contain , which help to determine an
organism’s . Genes come in alternate forms called
, and both parents may not have the same type of
allele. The actual gene combination that an organism
receives from its parents is called its , while the trait
that gets expressed as a result is referred to as its . If
an offspring receives the same type of allele for a given
gene from each parent, it is said to be for that trait.
If the alleles differ, it is .

what's this for

Explanation:

÷&÷÷&

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
