Genetics: Quiz 9
Genetics: Cells
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is DNA? | A type of nucleic acid that contains the genetic information of organisms (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) |
| Nucleic Acids | Molecules that are polymers |
| Polymers | Molecules with repeating parts called monomers |
| What is DNA made of? | Nucleotides, which have sugars, phosphate, and 4 nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine |
| Chargaff's Rule | When DNA is analyzed, the amount of A=T & C=G |
| Rosaline Franklin | X-ray crystallographer, chemist, discovered that DNA is a double helix, the "backbones are equally distanced, the two halves are symmetrical |
| James Watson & Francis Crick | Wanted to discover the structure of DNA, how it replicated, and how it represented genetic information |
| DNA replication | Enzymes break apart the DNA polymerates and the new nucleotides assemble from the cell |
| DNA represents genetic information | The sequence of bases codes for genetic information |
| Organic Molecules | Essentials to cells: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Sulfur |
| Carbohydrates | CHO, polysaccharide (complex sugar) or monosaccharide (simple sugar), structure and energy |
| Nucleic Acids | CHONP, nucleotides, DNA, genetic material |
| Proteins | CHONS, polypeptide, Amino Acid, hemoglobin, hormones, structure, enzymes |
| Lipids | CHO, steroids, phospholipids, fatty acids, energy, structure, hormones |
| Vacuole | Stores materials in the cell (water, salt, protein, carbohydrates) |
| Mitochondria | Makes compounds out of chemical energy from food, so it is easier for the cell to use (not found in prokaryotes) |
| Chloroplast | Captures energy from sunlight and makes it into chemical energy (found only in prokaryotes and plants) |
| Smooth/Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Fat molecules are assembled here/Synthesize proteins (Found in fungus and plants)/(Found in fungus, plants, and animals) |
| Lysosomes | Have enzymes and help to clean the cells, recycling the lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates (Not found in prokaryotes) |
| Golgi apparatus | Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum so they can be stored in the cell or secreted outside the cell (not found in prokaryotes) |
| All cells have | ribosomes and cell membranes |
| Organelles that contain DNA in eukaryotic cells | Nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast |
