GENETICS FIINAL

QuestionAnswer
Structure used in recombiant DNA technology to carry the DNA from cells f one species to anotehr species are called ____ Cloning Vectors
Genetic Modification .... alters, deletes, or adds DNA to a cell
A organism that contains DNA from other species is called Trasnsgenic
Eliminate invasive predator species with genetic techniques, done by ___ Gene drive, ability to pass genes from parent to children is enhanced.
Prokaryotes do not modify their mRNA transcripts. Because of this, eukaryotic inserted into prokaryotes must use___ instead of original genetic material cDNA, complementary DNA that is synthsized from RNA template
What category of enzymes is the CAS9 protein ? Endonuclease, catalyzes incision of DNA
How does Cas9 Differentiate from restriction enzymes? Endonuclease which acts with a guide RNA which is beneficial in fixing errors in genetic sequence or modification. Guide allows cast only at specific site.
Modification of genetic for living organisms Genetic Engineering
Restriction enzymes Restriction endonuclease ; as molecular scissors
Measure expression levels of gene ; display mRNA's Microarray
Introduces DNA into cells through electrical pulses Electroporation
Seperate DNA, RNA, bases on size Electrophoresis
PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction, amplifies DNA for genetic analysis
Gene Silencing : Knockdown Reduce mRNA expression, silenced
Gene Silencing : Knockout Completely eliminate DNA
CRISPR Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
Genetically modified organisms carry modifications in ... cell in which it was originally introduced
Purines (purely complicated) Adening and guanine = 2 rings
Molecular glue Ligase
Protooncogenes Are regular not mutated
Oncogenes Are mutated act as gas pedal
Pyrimidine Thymine Uracil, Cytosine = 1 ring
Benign Does not spread to surrounding tissues
Malignant Invades nearby tissue
Metastatic Tumor spreads to other parts, organs, and distal sites
Carcigen Causes cancer
Tumor Supressor Genes Acts as brakes, loss of function recessive , 2 hits needed
Sporadic Cancer Mutations in somatic cell
Formation of new capillary extensions Angiogenesis
p53 Guardian Cell
Common virus for cervical cancer Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
Dedifferentiatied Specialized cells --> Less specialized they become more stem like able to go to different cell types
A.R.T Assisted Reproductive Techniques
PTG Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis , screen embryos before implanted in uterus
Infertility vs Subfertility Infertility is inability to conceive a child after frequent intercourse w/o contraceptives Subfertility : Couples who can conceive but take longer to do so
Male infertility main causes Immobile sperm, atypical sperm, low sperm count
1/3 of males with infertility are due to Y chromosome deletions of genes involved in spermiogenesis
Donated sperm AKA Intrauterine Insemination
Donated Uterus AKA Uterine Transplant
Genetic and gestational , embryo conceived from woman own egg and partner donor sperm
IVF In Vitro Fertilization, sperm fertilizes on oocyte in culture dish
ICSI Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
GIFT Gamete intrafallopian Transfer, Large oocyte from woman and sperm from partner in uterine tube
ZIFT Zygote intrafallopian tube . IVF ovum introduced into uterine tube
Mitochondria Inheritence mothers always pass on their mitochondria and their mtDNA to their children, while fathers never pass on their mitochondria and mtDNA to their children.
Heterochromatin Highly packed, gene poor, transcriptionally silent
Euchromatin Less condensed gene rich and more accessible for transcription
Histones Protein that organize packed NDA within nucleus of eukaryotic cells
DNA Polymerase Adds nucleotides to 3' end of RNA primer , synthesize in 5 3 ; proofreads code
DNA LIGASE Joined okazaki fragments on lagging strand
DNA Primase Synthesizes a short RNA primer, to provide a starting point for DNA polymerase
Helicase Unwinds double stranded DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds
Okazaki Fragments Short segments of DNA synthesized on lagging strand, Lagging is discontinuously , leading is synthesized continuously
Transcription Factors Proteins that bind to specifc DNA sequences near genes ; activate or repress Transcription by helping or blocking RNA polymerase
Silences gene expession ; mutes expression
Histone Acetytaion Loosens chromatin structure, making DNA more accessible ; Activates gene expression
Reproductive Cloning Makes entire new organism EX: Dolly the Sheep
Therapeutic Cloning Produce stem cells to treat disease
Restriction Enzymes VS CRISPR Restriction : Cut DNA at short specific sequences , CRISPR - Cas 9 uses RNA guide to cut specific sequences in the genome
PCR 3 STEPS Denaturing : DNA strands separate ; Anealing primers bind to target sequence ; Extension ; Taq polymerase adds nucleotide to build DNA
Gene Sequencing Uses Chain terminating nucleotides to build DNA fragments of different lengths
Transcriptome All RNA in cell; tell which genes are being expressed
Proteome All proteins in cell; shows which proteins are functional
IVF vs Cloning IVF used for fertility combines sperm and egg , cloning therapeutic or reproduction and uses nucleus from body cell
mRNA Messenger RNA : carries genetic code (codons) from dNA to ribosome for protein synthesis
rRNA Ribosomal RNA ; Structural and enzymatic component of the ribosome ; catalyzes peptide bond formation
tRNA Transfer RNA delivers correct amino acids to ribosome by mathcnig anticodon to mRNA codon

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
