How was Your DNAy? Come on, baby Do the Replication Hey babe, What’s YouR NAme? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Express Yourself
Glucose is to glycogen, as ___________ is to DNA.
nucleotide
Specifically, what are the three parts to DNA nucleotide?
Deoxyribose, phosphate, nitrogenous base
Cytosine and Thymine have a single ring and are known as this.
pyramidine
The 5’ end and 3’ end refer to what part of the 5 carbon sugar?
Carbon 5 at top and carbon 3 at the bottom
These two scientists figured out that DNA carries genetic information, whereas proteins do not.
Hershey and Chase
Helicase breaks these bonds between these molecules.
Hydrogen, nitrogenous bases
This enzyme glues Okazaki fragments together.
Ligase
This enzyme lays down a short segment of RNA in order to start replication.
Primase
This term refers to how replication uses a template strand; and therefore, the new DNA consists of only one newly synthesized strand per double helix.
Semi- conservative
This enzyme digests and replaces the RNA primer with DNA
DNA Polymerase
These are the three kinds of RNA
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
These two things are in RNA, but not DNA
Ribose, uracil
This molecule is made from DNA, and read by ribosomes.
mRNA
This is the anticodon of the tRNA that carries methionine.
UAC
From 5’ to 3’, what is the mRNA sequence that corresponds to the DNA strand: 5’ ATACCGAAT 3’
AUUCGGUAU (had to flip it!!!)
This is a change in the genetic code at a single nucleotide.
Point mutation
In thinking about protein synthesis, this is the least harmful point mutation.
Substitution
These three mutations involve chromosomal breakage.
Inversion, Deletion, translocation
If a cell was doubly fertilized (by two sperm), this would be the term to describe its chromosomes
Triploid, or polyploid
How are mutations linked to evolution?
Mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variation. If something is a beneficial mutation, it may increase over time in the population (change over time).
Define a gene.
A sequence of DNA that codes for a protein.
Which direction does the ribosome read mRNA?
5’ 3’
List one of the many important job of these newly formed polypeptide chains.
Enzymes structures like in muscles, skin, etc. regulate cell cycle
When will protein synthesis occur?
When that protein is NEEDED.
When a genes is expressed, this means what two processes are occurring?
Transcription and translation
