How many genes do we have/need? 25,000 from Mom 25,000 from Dad 50,000 genes! Learning Set 5 : Lesson 1 : Slide 1

A Recipe-Genome Analogy A single recipe is like… A recipe book is like… Two copies of 23 recipe books is like… A Chromosome: Thousands of sets of instructions for how to make thousands of proteins A Gene: One set of instructions for how to make one protein. Our Genome: ALL of the sets of instructions for how to make ALL the proteins we need ALL (gene, chromosome, genome) are written in same the DNA alphabet!!! Learning Set 5: Lesson 1 : Slide 2

A Recipe-Genome Analogy In order for scientists to find a specific gene, they need to know which “book” to look in, and which “page” to turn to. Genome Chromosome Gene Learning Set 5 : Lesson 1 : Slide 3
