Answer:

genetics-the study of what genes are, how they carry info, how info is expressed, and how genes are replicated

genome-the entire genetic makeup of an organism including both its genes and noncoding sequences that link these

chromosome-naked, circular piece of DNA containing approx. 3000-4000 genes

gene-a segment of DNA that encodes a functional product, usually a protein

genetic code-the set of rules that determines how a nucleotide sequence is converted into the amino acid sequence of a protein

genotype-an organism's genetic makeup, the info that codes for all particular characteristics of that organism; represents potential properties, but not the properties themselves

phenotype-actual, expressed properties, such as the organism's ability to perform a particular chemical reaction; manifestation of genotype

genomics-the sequencing and molecular characterization of genomes
