DNA Gyrase

enzymes that catalyze the attachment of nucleotides to synthesize a new DNA strand

DNA Polymerase

responsible for most DNA replication, catalyzes the phosphodiester bond formation between adjacent nucleotide

Pol III

removes RNA primers and fills the resulting gap, Uses 5' to 3' exonuclease activity to digest the RNA and replace it, unable to form the last phosphodiester bond

Pol I

the last 2 phosphates that are released from the incoming nucleotide

Pyrophosphate

synthesizes short RNA primers that start DNA synthesis and are removed by Pol I

DNA Primase

start DNA synthesis

RNA primer

maintains Pol III on the parent strand, forms a clamp around the DNA

B subunit

Direction of replication

5' to 3'

one RNA primer is made at the origin, Pol III attaches nucleotides In a 5' to 3' direction towards the opening of the replication fork

leading strand

5' to 3' away from replication fork, many RNA primers needed, makes okazaki fragments

lagging strand

Pol III uses the RNA primers to synthesize small DNA FRAGMENTS

Okazaki fragments

catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond connecting the DNA fragments

DNA Ligase

complex in where DNA Polymerase and all involved enzymes are connected

Replisome

Role of GATC in timing

replicates when a methyladinine is attached to adenine

initiates DNA replication when added to adenine

Methyladinine

3 main proofreading mechanisms

Instability of mismatched pairs


configuration of DNA Polymerase active site


proofreading function of DNA Polymerase

3' to 5' exonuclease activity

identifies a mismatched nucleotide and an enzyme uses a 3' to 5' to digest a newly made strand until the mismatch is fixed

caries solutes across plasma membrane, lipids brought, one allele gives susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. neanderthal gene

SLC16

complex telomeric DNA sequences and bound proteins


3' overhang that is 12- 16 nucleotides long


without it, DNA would shorten after each replication

telomeres

adds DNA sequences to the ends of telomeres and contains protein and RNA complex

telomerase

if you have high functioning telomerase you have this

Imortalized cells

collection of organisms living in and on you

Microbiome

pharmaceutical effectiveness, vaccines

first chance metabolism

microbes can cause obesity or slim body shape mice

fecal transplant

prokaryotes reproduce this way by replicating and separating chromosome

Binary Fission

forms a contracting ring to separate both cells. builds new cell wall in bacteria

FtsZ

Cell Cycle

stages of eukaryotic cell division


Gap 1 - primary growth phase of the cell


Synthesis - DNA replication


Gap 2- organelles replicate, kineticore microtubules organize with centosome

two copies of a replicated chromosome

chromatid

point on chromatids where spindle fibers attach during cell division

Kinetochore

part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids

Centromere

cell microtubule organization center, regulates cell division cycle

Centrosome

organization of the miotic spindle and in the completion of cytokinesis

Centrioles

kinetochore microtubules extend from the centromere

Mytotic spindle

attach to centromere to pull chromosomes part in mitosis

Kinetochore microtubules

Mitosis

replication in eukaryotes


Prophase-compact


prometaphase-centrioles capture chromosomes using microtubule filaments


metaphase - sister chromatid align along the metaphase plate


Anaphase - breaks part chromatid


telophase-nuclear envelope reforms

breaks chromatids become independent

Cohesin

contractile ring forms and contracts to divide the cell into 2

Cytokinesis

The process of forming gamete


half the amount of genetic material

Gametogenetis

developmental stage at which the embryonic genome sustains Cellular functions

Maternal-to-Zygote transition

first act of meiosis in which cell division occurs


second splits those in 2 so they have half the genes

Meiosis 1


meiosis 2

pairing of 2 homologous Chromosomes that occurs during meiosis occurs in prophase

synapsis

a group of 4 haploid cells formed by meiosis divisor of one mother cell

tetrad

formed between homologous sister chromatids

synaptonemal complex

2 sources of genetic variation

Mutations - change in genes or chromosomes


Gene Recombination- mixing of genes that result from meiosis and seal reproduction

occurs in the testes, diploma cell divides to produce 2 cells, one remains a spermatogonial cell, the other becomes a primary spermatocyte

Spermatogenisis

Primary spermatocyte

goes through meiosis 1 and 2 to produce haploid sperm cells

the production of eggs, occurs in the ovaries early in development

Oogenesis

Primary Oocyte

initiate meiosis I, but enter a dormant phase during prophase I and stay dormant till puberty

Secondary Oocyte

an Oocyte in which the first meiosis divisor is completed, the second meiosis division usually stops short of completion unless fertilization occurs

Polar bodies

haploid cell formed in oogenesis but usually cannot be fertilized like an egg. happens when cell divides unevenly

found on Chromosome 15, breaks down fatty acid byproducts, Tay Sachs Disease-causing deterioration of neuronal function at 6 months and death by age 4

HEXA

Tay-Sachs

causing deterioration of neuronal function at 6 months and death by age 4

proposed by hippocrates, traits aquire by parents are passed on

Pangenesis

proposed that offspring grow Directly from gametes, people thought they saw a minature human in sperm

Preformationism

blending inheritance

traits of offspring are an average of both oarents

performed thousands of crosses using garden peas to study heredity

Mendel
