ExpressionExpressionthe appearance of a the appearance of a trait directed by a genetrait directed by a gene
Codon (Genetic Codon (Genetic code)code)a series of three a series of three nucleotide bases that nucleotide bases that determine the amino determine the amino acid order and the acid order and the proteins formed in cell proteins formed in cell reproductionreproduction
TransgenicTransgenic
a cell or organism that harbors another organism or DNA from a foreign source.
