🗑
___ one trait is studied   monohybrid cross  
🗑
in a monohybrid cross if two heterozygotes are crossed   1:2:1 genotype 3:1 phenotype  
🗑
testcross we cross ______ to the unknown genotype   recessive  
🗑
_______two different traits are stuudied on different chromosomes   dihybrid cross  
🗑
in dihybrid cross if two heterozygotes are crossed   9:3:3:1 phenotype  
🗑
Incomplet dominance   the phenotyps blend  
🗑
in incomplet dominance if heterozygotes are crossed we get   1:2:1 phenotypes  
🗑
Codominance   more than one dominant  
🗑
______ pairs autosomes in humans   22  
🗑
sex linnked recessive traits are transferred from   father to daughter to grandson  
🗑
nondisjunction   failure of separation of homolog in meiosisI or sister chromatids in meiosis II  
🗑
down syndrome is caused by   trisomy of 21 chromosome  
🗑
mutations in somatic cells may cause   tumors  
🗑
mutations in sex cells will   be transmitted to offspring  
🗑
sickle cell is caused by   substitution of valine (GUA or GUG) for glutaminc acid (GAG or GAA)  
🗑
____ is the basis of heredity   DNA  
🗑
basic structure of DNA   deoxyribose bonded to both phosphate and nitrogenous base  
🗑
Pyrimidines eg.   cytosine and thymine  
🗑
Purine eg.   adenine and guanine  
🗑
______ have single C-nitrogen ring   Pyrimidine  
🗑
_______ have double rings   purines  
🗑
G ____ bonds to ______   triple; cytosine  
🗑
A _____ bonds to _____   double; thymine  
🗑
which nucleotide base pair is stronger and more stable   G triple bond to cytosine  
🗑
semi conservative strand   replication involves an intact strand from parent  
🗑
exons   code for proteins "sense"  
🗑
introns   dont code for proteins "nonsense"  
🗑
________ unzips the heliz   Dna helicase  
🗑
______ complementary base pair the exposed base on one strand   DNa polymerase  
🗑
codon   translation of dna to amino acids  
🗑
function of rna   interpret dna code to direct protein synthesis  
🗑
structure of rna   single stranded; ribose; uracil instead of thymine  
🗑
DNA to mRNA   transcription  
🗑
mRNA to protein   translation  
🗑
start codon   AUG  
🗑
stop codon   UAG, UGA, UAA  
🗑
role of mRNA   transports complement of DNa from nucleus to ribosome  
🗑
mRNA have _______ of DNA code   "inverted" complementary  
🗑
most abundant rna   rRNA  
🗑
role of tRNA   translate nucleotide code to amino acid sequence to ribisome  
🗑
role of rRNA   main component of ribosome  
🗑
_____ is synthesized in the nucleolus   rRNA  
🗑
process of transcription   RNA polymerase transcribes DNA seq to mRNA sequence - before translation enzymes remove introns and splice together extrons  
🗑
translation   translate nucleotide to amino acid language; occurs in cytoplasm  
🗑
process of translation   mRNA has leader sequence that allows ribosome to bind - when it reaches start codon it finds a tRNA with activated anticodon -the other end of tRNA names the amino acid -ribosome enzyme forms peptide bond -stop codon signals end of translation  
🗑
the first amino acid of all proteins   methione  
🗑
ribosomes have ____ binding sites for :   3, mrna, and 2 for trna  
🗑
the 2 subunits of ribosome bind only ____   during protein synthesis  
🗑
P site of ribosome   is for the trna with growing polypeptide  
🗑
A site on ribosome   is for the trna with incoming amino acid terminal complex  
🗑
polyribosome   many ribosome simultaneously transl8 single mRNA  
🗑
G1 (first gap phase)   gap betwen cell division and dna replication  
🗑
S ( synthesis phase)   cell dna is replicated  
🗑
G2 (second gap phase)   gap b/t cell division and dna replication  
🗑
M (mitotic phase)   cell division  
🗑
Phases G1, S and G2 are collectively   Interphase  
🗑
bacteria has a circular chromosome located in   nucleoid  
🗑
bacteria dna is synthesized in which direction   5' to 3'  
🗑
bacteria reproduce by   binary fission ( asexual repr)  
🗑
bacteria increase genetic variance by:   Transformation; conjugation; transduction  
🗑
transformation   foreign plasmid incorporated in bacteria chromosome  
🗑
conjugation   "sex" F+ (donor) transfers genetic material to F-  
🗑

🗑
_____ controls gene expression in prokaryotes   Transcription  
🗑
in prokaryotes _______ binds to ______ to prevent genes being transscribed   repressor; operator  
🗑
_____ the initial binding site for RNA polymerase in prokaryotes   Promoter gene  
🗑
______ synthesizes repressor molecule   Regulator gene  
🗑
______ binds to repressor to prevent it from binding to operator   inducer  
🗑
Inducible system   requires inducer to allow transcription to occur  
🗑
Repressible system   system will be in continuous transcription unless correpressor is present  
🗑
correpressor role   attaches to repressor gene and activates it to prevent transcription  
🗑
bacteriophage   virus that infects host bacteria  
🗑
lytic cycle   bacteria cell bursts to release virions  
🗑

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.
