Question | Answer |
---|---|
What regulate animal development? | Genes |
How many genes does the human have? | ~22,000 |
What are cells organized by? | By fiber systems |
What structures surround the genome organized within the nucleus? | Fiber systems |
What 3 types of filament/tubule systems are present in each cell? | Actin filament, microtubules, and intermediate filament |
What does redeploying microtubules during mitosis provide? | They provide the scaffold supporting karyokinesis |
How do we account for the continuity of life from one generation of animals to the next? | Genes |
What does life depend on? | Life depends on the ability of cells to store, retrieve and translate genetic instructions |
What must cells and organisms pass onto their offspring? | Hereditary information |
Where is hereditary information encoded? | Within genes that are in DNA |
What encode proteins or structural RNA? | Genes |
What is epigenetics? | The differences that lies even between clones |
How many genes encode for the protein for size in dogs? | Three |
What are alleles? | Slightly different sequence versions of each gene that encode phenotype variations within a trait |
What provided the first evidence for heredity? | Animal breeding |
Who discovered the principles of heredity? | Mendel |
Who rediscovered the principle of heredity? | Hugo de Vries |
Who was the person that coined the term "genetics" to describe biological heredity? | William Bateson |
Who published Origin of Species? | Darwin |
What was the name of the clone sheep? | Dolly |
what does fidelity mean? | Perfect copy |
What is hybridization? | The hydrogen bonds that occur between the base pairings on the DNA strands |
DNA strands are...? | Anti-parallel |
What is transcription? | the transfer from one nucleotide language to another. The process of turning DNA to RNA |
What is translation? | The process of taking RNA and making proteins |
How can more protein product be made? | The more transcription of mRNA made, will increase the amount of protein product |
What is the purpose of mRNA? | To encode proteins |
What is a catalyst? | A protein that lowers the free energy of a reaction |
What is an enzyme? | A macromolecule that acts like a catalyst |
What enzyme is used to synthesizes RNA? | RNA polymerase |
What exactly does RNA polymerase do? | It reads the template strand of DNA 3->5 and assembles a new complimentary RNA strand 5->3 from ribonucleotides |
What does the promoter do? | It encodes regulatory signals controlling gene expression |
What is coordinate control? | the controlling of expression of multiple genes at one time |
What is polycistronic? | The mRNAs encoding several discrete proteins |
What is monocistronic? | The mRNAs encoding for one protein |
What is a cistron? | A complete gene coding sequence |
What are exons? | Gene sequence encoding protein sequence |
what are introns? | noncoding interruptions between exons |
