| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Translation | cell uses information from the MRNA to produce proteins |
| anticodon | it is the sequence of 3 nucleotides on the TRNA |
| bacteriophage | bacteria eater |
| What did Hershey and Chase conclude? | genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA not protein |
| nucleotides | a string of units of the DNA |
| Griffith | a factor in heat-killed, disease-causing bacteria can "transform" harmless bacteria into ones that can cause disease |
| Avery | Genes are composed of DNA |
| Franklin | studied the DNA molecule with x-ray diffraction |
| watson and crick | developed the double helix of the DNA structure |
| base pairing | Chargaff made this and a goes with t and c goes with g |
| chromatin | Eukaryotic chromosomes contain DNA and protein, packed together |
| histones | proteins that chromatin coils around |
| replication fork | |
| DNA polymerase | enzyme that joins the nucleotides to produce DNA molecules |
| genes | coded DNA instructions |
| three main RNA | transfer, ribosomal, and messenger |
| introns | sequences of nucleotides |
| exons | DNA sequences that code for proteins. |
| Gene mutations | Point and Frame shift mutations |
| chromosomal mutations | Deletion, duplication, inversion, trans location |
| polyploidy | extra sets of chromosomes |
| operon | groups of genes that operate together |
| operator | several copies of a DNA-binding protein |
| Lac genes are turned off by | repressors |
| Lac genes are turned on by | presence of lactose |
| differentiation | cells become specialized in structure and function. |
| hox genes | series of genes that control the differentiation of cells and tissued in the embryo |
