BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATIONS I. GENETIC FOUNDATIONS A. The foundations of development are heredity and environment. Heredity supplies our genotype (genetic makeup)‚ while heredity and environment combine to form the phenotype (observable characteristics). B. The Genetic Code 1. Chromosomes store and transmit genetic information. Each cell in the human body contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. 2. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules make up chromosomes. 3. A gene is a segment of a DNA molecule

Sept 27‚ 2010 Chapter 4 * With four valence electrons‚ carbon can form four covalent bonds with a variety of atoms * This tetra valence makes large‚ complex molecules possible * Fundamental groups: Alkanes and Alkenes * The electron configuration of carbon gives it covalent compatibility with many different elements * The valences of carbon and its most frequent partners (hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and nitrogen) are the “building code” that governs the architecture of living

The three particles that make up atoms are d. protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons. Which of the following statements about a compound is true? A. The physical and chemical properties of a compound are usually very different from those of the elements from which it is formed. A covalent bond is formed as the result of b. sharing electrons. In a water molecule‚ shared electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom than the hydrogen atoms. As a result‚ the oxygen atom is a. slightly negative.
