gamma ray. A stream of electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths shorter than those of x-rays and therefore greater energy and penetrating power.. A photon of electromagnetic radiation of very short wavelength, less than about 0.01 nanometer, and very high energy, greater than about 100,000 electron volts. Gamma rays are emitted in the decay of certain radioactive nuclei and in electron-positron annihilation. 2. A narrow beam of such photons.
The ribosomes makes proteins using coded instructions that come from the nucleus
Â­DNA carrÂ­ies all of the information for your physical characteristics, which are essentially determined by proteins. So, DNA contains the instructions for making a protein. In DNA, each protein is encoded by a gene (a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that specify how a single protein is to be made).
