Interphase
Which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
Metaphase
Why will a certain enzyme hydrolize egg whites but not starch?
Enzymes are specific in their reactions
The sugar in RNA is ________ and the sugar in DNA is ________?
Ribose ; Deoxiribose
What energy is needed to start a chemical reaction?
Activation energy
Upon entering the mitochondria, pyruvic acid molecules are changed into?
Acetyl CoA
The enzyme DNA polymerase is mostly in which phase?
S phase
With out oxygen glycolysis allows cells to make small amounts of ATP through?
Fermentation

Anaerobic respiration occurs in what part of the cell?
Cytoplasm
Dehydration synthesis of proteins would involve?
Amino acids become joined together
What is the importance of ATP molecules to cellular processes?
They provide energy for cellular work when the terminal, high-energy bond is broken?
The different length of DNA segments are separated by?
Electrophoresis- Electrical current is run through the gel
DNA segments are ________ charged so the fragments run to the ________ pole of the gel?
Negatively ; Positive
Small DNA fragments move ______ and large ones move ______?
Fast ; Slow
What is Recombinant DNA technology?
- Recombining two different sources of DNA to create new DNA
-Source DNA contains the gene of interest
-Host DNA that will be opened up to allow insertion of source DNA
What is DNA cloning/Gene cloning?
Replication of a single source gene using a vector containing the DNA which is taken up by a bacteria. Every time the bacteria replicates a new copy of the DNA is made resulting in large quantities.
What is Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer?
1. Take an unfertilized egg from a sheep
2. Enucleate the cell (remove the DNA)
3. Take cells from udder of an adult sheep (soon to be clone)
*Nucleus of somatic cell gives genetic material and the egg provides nutrients and other materials*
4. Fuse udder cell with the egg cell with a spark of electricity promoting mitosis
5. Transplant divided embryo into surrogate mother
What is Gene Replacement Therapy?
Replacing a normal gene with an abnormal gene. Using a vector delivery system, insert the gene into a virus, attenuate virus (so it wont cause sickness) and delivery it to the host through IV, IM or aerosol.
What are transgenic animals?
Animals that carry a foreign gene deliberately inserted into its genome used to study diseases.
What is Pre-Implantation Gene Diagnosis (PGD)?
Procedure intended to weed out genetically defective embryos before they have a chance to develop.
What is Cytoplasmic Transfer?
Injection of a small amount of a younger cytoplasm from a donor egg into the patients egg overcoming deficiencies that may exist while retaining the patients genetic material.
What are Embryonic stem cells? What is pluripotent?
A cell line is created by extracting cells from an embryo and under the right conditions, cells will replicate ; Under the proper chemical cues the cells can develop into all cell types in the body.
What are adult stem cells?
Cells that are not specialized but found in specialized tissue. Capable of renewal, found in adults children and umbilical cords.
What is the portion of the DNA molecule that contains genetic information for a particular protein called?
A gene
What is the complete set of genetic instructions in a cell called?
