THE GENETIC CODE
A code is a system of symbolsmthat contains a message.
Its symbols of the genetic code are a code for the information that is used to synthesiseproteins.
THE GENETIC CODE IS THE RELATION SHIP BETWEEN THE SECUENCES OF NITROGENOUS BASES IN DNA AND THE SECUEBCES OF AMINO ACIDS THAT MAKE UP PROTEINS.
THE HUMAN GENOME
GENOME: IS AN ORGANISMS COMPLETE SET OF GENES.
STEPS:
2003: all the secuences of nucleotides in the human genome were located - HUMAN HAPLOID GENOME: 30.000
Practical applications of mapping the human genome:

THE HUMAN GENOME
GENOME: IS AN ORGANISMS COMPLETE SET OF GENES.
STEPS:
- Determining the complete sequence of nitrogenous bases of its DNA.
- Locating the position of all its genes on the chromosome.
- Understanding the relationships between its genes.
- Finding and identifying previously unknown genes.
2003: all the secuences of nucleotides in the human genome were located - HUMAN HAPLOID GENOME: 30.000
Practical applications of mapping the human genome:
- Diagnosis an prevention of genetic diseases.
- Gene therapy (treatment of diseases).
- Design of medicines which can be personalised.
- New research into human genetic.
