(cromossoma)
cromossomo
a very small threadlike structure in a living organism that carries the genes and genetic information
A chromosome is a long, thread-like structure found in the cells of living organisms. It is made up of proteins and DNA, which contains the genetic instructions for growth, development, and functioning. Each chromosome carries many genes, which are the instructions for making proteins and determining various traits and characteristics. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell, arranged in 23 pairs, with one set coming from each parent. Chromosomes are crucial for cell division, as they ensure that genetic information is accurately copied and distributed to new cells.

(centriolo)
centríolo

(telomero)
telômero
a repetitive DNA sequence at the end of a linear chromosome, protecting it from deterioration during replication, and playing a role in cellular aging and cancer development
(proteína histona)
histona
a type of protein that plays a structural role in the packaging of DNA into nucleosomes, fundamental units of chromatin
(característica fenotípica)
fenótipo
the observable physical and behavioral characteristics of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genotype (genetic makeup) with the environment
(regulação interna)
homeostase
the tendency of an organism or cell to regulate its internal environment and maintain a stable, balanced condition, despite external changes
(tradução genética)
tradução
the process by which the information encoded in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA is converted into a functional product, typically a protein
(transcrição genética)
transcrição
the process by which a segment of DNA is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA molecule
(duplicação)
replicação
the process by which an organism duplicates its genetic material, particularly the copying of DNA in cell division
(heterozigota)
heterozigoto
an individual organism or cell with two different alleles at a specific gene locus, having inherited different genetic information from each parent
(homozigoto)
homozigoto
an individual organism or cell with two identical alleles at a specific gene locus, having inherited the same genetic information from both parents
(código genético)
códon
a sequence of three adjacent nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis or serves as a start or stop signal in the translation process
(simbiose mútua)
simbiose
a close and often long-term interaction between two different species living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both
(amebídeo)
ameba
a single-celled, microscopic organism belonging to the group of protozoa, characterized by a flexible cell membrane and the absence of a fixed body shape
Informações Gramaticais:
(cápsula viral)
capsídeo
the protein coat of a virus that encases its genetic material and helps it attach to and enter host cells during infection
(pigmento clorofílico)
clorofila
a green pigment found in all green plants and cyanobacteria that is responsible for the absorption of the sunlight needed for the photosynthesis process
(eucariote)
eucarioto
a type of living thing with cells that have a nucleus and other structures enclosed in membranes, like plants, animals, fungi, and some microorganisms
(embrião)
feto
an offspring of a human or animal that is not born yet, particularly a human aged more than eight weeks after conception
(ovócito)
óvulo
a mature, female reproductive cell or egg, typically larger than a sperm cell, capable of fusing with a sperm cell during fertilization to form a zygote
(enzima pepsina)
pepsina
an enzyme produced in the stomach that helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking them down into smaller peptides
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that plays a crucial role in the human body's digestion of proteins. It is produced in the stomach and acts to break down large protein molecules into smaller peptides. Pepsin works optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach, where it helps initiate the process of protein digestion, enabling the body to absorb essential amino acids for various biological functions.
