Question
Answer
TRUE/FALSE Genes on the same chromosome will stay together unless crossing over occurs   true  
🗑
Dihybrid Cross punnet square for TTPP and TtPp   the four on top would be (TP TP TP TP) and on the side would be (TP Tp tP tp)  
🗑
Incomplete Dominance   progeny phenotypes that are blends of parental phenotypes. Classic example is color in snapdragons (dominant red crossed with recessive white produce PINK)  
🗑
Codominance   multiple dominant alleles; ex BLOOD ( o = ii, A = IAIA or IAi, AB = IAIB)  
🗑
Sex-Linked Recessive   gene carried on X chromosome; ex hemophilia & color blindness  
🗑
epistasis   occurs when one gene masks or modifies the expression of an other gene  
🗑
Pleiotrophy   – single gene effects several phenotypic characteristics  
🗑
Mutations   in somatic cells => tumors, in gametes => transmitted to offspring; insertion, deletion, substitution; ex sickle-cell anemia  
🗑
Pyrimidines   CUT the PY; 1 ring *Because G is triple bonded to C, higher G/C content more stable *Nucleotides are H-bonded  
🗑
Redundancy/ Degeneracy   genetic code synonyms, multiple codons for same AA  
🗑
nucleoside   sugar+base  
🗑
Protein Synthesis   Replication => Transcription => Translation. DNA synthesis occurs during S-phase.  
🗑
Ribosomes are assembled by   the nucleolus.  
🗑
Replication  of DNA   => DNA synthesized in 5’=>3’;  
🗑
Helicase, primase   helicase unwinds double helix and an RNA polymerase called, primase begins replication  
🗑
Transcription   DNA => RNA (nucleus), mRNA has inverted complementary code, ex 5’ TCTTT 3’ mRNA would be 3’ AGAAA 5’ **principal site of the regulation of gene expression  
🗑
Translation   RNA => Protein (cytoplasm); mRNA translated to AA  
🗑
exons   nucleotide base sequences that are transcribed into mRNA proteins  
🗑
Introns   are removed during transcription; (exons = don’t exit)  
🗑
mRNA   carries complement of DNA from nucleus to ribosomes, least abundant RNA  
🗑
tRNA   brings AA to ribosomes during synthesis, recognizes AA and codons; in cytoplasm; smallest form of RNA  
🗑
rRNA   ribosomal RNA; most abundant form of RNA  
🗑
Ribosomes   two subunits; three binding sites: 1 for mRNA, 3 for tRNA  
🗑
PCR technique   makes multiple DNA copies in vitro  
🗑
X-Ray diffraction   most accurate way to discover molecular structures.  
🗑
Polypeptide sequence   initiation (AUG), elongation, termination (UGA UAG UAA)  
🗑
Gene Regulation   transcription enables prokaryotes to control metabolism  
🗑
Inducible system   require inducer for transcription  
🗑
RNA polymerase binds to promoter   structural genes transcribed  
🗑
Repressor binds to operator   structural genes NOT transcribed  
🗑
Inducer binds to repressor   no binding to operator => genes transcribed  
🗑
Repressible system   constant state of transcription unless corepressor- repressor complex present to inhibit  
🗑
Bacteriophage   virus that infects host bacterium; attachment/ adsorption => penetration/ eclipse=> lytic or lysogenic  
🗑
Lytic virus   phage DNA takes control of bacterium/ makes numerous progeny; bacterial cell bursts (lyses) releasing virons; these types of bacteriophage are called virulent; ALL HOST cells destroyed = evolutionary disadvantage  
🗑
Lysogenic virus   becomes integrated into genome in harmless way (provirus/prophage); cleverness is that every time the host reproduces itself the prophage is reproduced too  
🗑
Techoic acids   used for recognition and binding sites by bacterial viruses that cause infections  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
