Definition of Terms

DNA
DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid.  It is an organic molecule that stores and
transports the genetic instructions that are necessary for an organism to grow, develop, and reproduce
other cells and new organisms. (Schulman, 2022)

RNA
RNA, abbreviation ribonucleic acid, is a single-stranded nucleic acid polymer used to code for
amino acids and acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins. They are a single-
helix shorter chain of nucleotides derived from DNA. (Sen, 2023)

Chromosomes
Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells.
ensures DNA is accurately copied and distributed in the vast majority of cell divisions. A human being
contains 46 independent chromosomes. They are considered as the highest condensed structure of the
DNA double-helix with proteins. (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2020)

Chromatin
Chromatin are long, thin structures of DNA and proteins that package DNA into the cell nucleus.
During cell replication, duplicated chromatins condense further to become a lot like chromosomes, visible
under the microscope, separated into daughter cells during cell division. (Venadtu, 2023)

Genome
While DNA is the information molecule, the genome is the entire complete set of  all
approximately three billion base pairs of DNA instructions found in a cell. Each human being has their
own unique genome structure. (Keil, 2014)
