When will DNA replication take place in the cell |
During interphase |
|
What does DNA helicase do |
Unzips double helix |
|
Single strand binding protein or SS BP |
Stabilizes the single stranded DNA |
|
What is the function of topoisomerase |
Break sugar phosphate backbone to allow it to swivel and spin out |
|
What is the function of DNA polymerase 3 |
Proofreads DNA and fix his mistakes also extends the leading strand |
|
What is the function of RNA primase |
Puts the RNA primer on |
|
What's the function of DNA polymerase 1 |
Remove DNA primers |
|
What is the function of DNA ligase |
Puts DNA fragments together |
|
Why do you need primers |
Because you can't build with dntps |
|
The lagging strand has a nun replicated end this is why we need |
Telomeres |
|
What is the function of mRNA |
Transfers information AKA messenger RNA |
|
What is the function of rrna |
Ribosomal RNA what ribosomes are made of and they are made in the nucleolus |
|
What is the function of TRNA |
Brings amino acids to a particular codon |
|
How can mutations occur |
Buy a one-letter swap insertion or deletion |
|
RNA polymerase does not need a |
Primer |
|
Which strand is transcribed |
3 Prime to 5 Prime template |
|
What is the coding strand |
Making RNA copy of non template |
|
What does a promoter do |
Turn it off |
|
How does it know when to stop |
It forms a hairpin Loop |
|
In eukaryotes how does a single Gene code for multiple mRNA |
Edit them turns introns and exons |
|
Where does translation occur |
In the rough ER |
|
What determines how many times it can replicate |
By the length of the tail |
|
What percentage of human DNA is used |
2% is coded for use |
|
In the 1950s Watson and Crick identify |
DNA structure |
|
Okazaki fragments |
Lagging strand DNA pieces that have to be reattached which is done by DNA ligase |
|
What percentage of DNA in humans is regulation of the 2% that is coded |
8 - 10% |
|
What is the central dogma of biology |
1 Gene tells how to make a protein or an enzyme |
|
A codon is a sequence of |
3 base pairs |
|
Every codon codes for a specific |
Amino acid |
|
Many amino acids have several |
Codons |
|
What is the start codon and its amino acid |
UAG methionine |
|
What is a point mutation |
If you put a t where a c should be during translation and the wrong side is switched out |
|
What is the third position wobble |
If the last letter of the codon is messed up it may still code for the right protein even if there's no connection |
|
Missense |
Changes the amino acid |
|
Frameshift |
Shifting sequence by one letter but almost always kill you completely different code |
|
RNA polymerase has a |
Sigma |
|
What does a sigma do |
Identifies and transcribes to a specific Gene and recognizes and binds to the promoter |
|
What is the Tata box binding protein |
A sub-unit of the sigma protein at -10 |
|
What are introns |
DNA that does not code for a protein they must be removed from eukaryotic RNA transcripts |
|
Introns are blank and exons are blank |
Bad good |
|
How are introns cut out |
1. SnRNP's bind to intron 2. SnRNP's assemble to form the spliceosome 3. Intron is cut 4. Intron is released and exons reconnect |
|
In eukaryotes mrnas are given a |
5 Prime cap and a poly a tail |
|
In bacterial transcription and translation take place at the |
Same time |
|
In eukaryotes transcription and translation are separated in |
Space and time due to having membrane-bound organelles |
|
In prokaryotic and eukaryotic translation is |
Identical |
|
In prokaryotes translation takes place on the |
Chromosome |
|
In eukaryotes translation takes place in the |
Cytoplasm |
