Chapter 25 Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Number of hydrogen bonds between Adenine and Thymine | 2 |
| Why is DNA replication considered "semi-conservative"? | Each daughter DNA molecule consists of one new chain of nucleotides and one from the parent DNA molecule |
| During replication, the enzyme that unwinds and unzips the DNA... | DNA helicase |
| Following replication, this enzyme seals any breaks in the sugar-phosphate backbone | DNA ligase |
| Three classes of RNA... | messenger (mRNA); transfer (tRNA); ribosomal (rRNA) |
| One of two promoter sequences that are used for the start of transcription | TATA box (repeating TATATATATATA...) or CAAT box (repeating CAATCAATCAAT...) |
| the role of tRNA is to... | transport amino acids to the ribosomes |
| These are the three steps in Translation | Initiation, Elongation, and Termination |
| During translation, this is always the "start" codon | AUG (codes for methionine) |
| These are the three "binding" sites on a ribosome | P (peptide) site, A (amino) site, E (exit) site |
| If mRNA carries the codon, then the tRNA carries the...? | anti-codon |
| Three causes of mutations: | Replication Errors; Mutagens; Transposons |
| Type of mutations where one or more nucleotides are either inserted or deleted from DNA | Frameshift Mutations |
