Bio 8.4 Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. What is ribose | Five carbon sugar in RNA |
| 2. What is a codon | signifies an amino acid or a stop signal |
| 3. How does the operator of an operon work | Controls RNA polymerase’s access to genes |
| 4. What are introns | Do not get translated |
| 5. What is a mutation | Substitution results in one base replacing another and deletion a base is left out |
| 6. What is the job of mRNA | Delivers DNA’s instructions for making protiens |
| 7. What is the central dogma of DNA | DNA to RNA to protien |
| 8. What is an exon | DNA is translated, spliced together during processing |
| 9. How are DNA and RNA different | RNA has a different sugar, uracil, and one strand |
| 10. What is the function of rRNA | Forms ribosomes |
| 11. What is transcription | Genetic information is rewritten as mRNA |
| 12. What is a codon | Nucleotide triplet, specifies amino acids |
| 13. Be able to write mRNA, anticodon, and a protein sequence from DNA | Use genetic code table and base pairs |
| 14. What is tRNA | Carries amino acids to correct codons |
| 15. What is an operon | Genes, promoter site, and operator |
| 16. Where does a repressor bind on a gene | operator |
| 17. Why do we have introns | Evolutionary flexibility |
| 18. What is RNA polymerase | Enzyme that makes RNA |
| 19. Know the types of RNA and their jobs | rRNA makes ribosomes, tRNA carries amino acids to ribosomes, and mRNA carries information for DNA to ribosomes |
| 20. What are the types of mutations | Point- one base is substituted for another and Frameshift- a base is inserted or deleted |
