Question
Answer
Function of PCR   amplify DNA  
🗑
Why cool to 60 degrees in PCR   primer attaches to DNA template  
🗑
Why heat to 90 degrees in PCR   DNA denatures to seperate strands  
🗑
Why heat to 70 degrees in PCR   DNA polymerase replicates DNA by adding free DNA nucleotides to 3 end  
🗑
1st stage of DNA replication   Double helix of DNA unwinds  
🗑
2nd stage of DNA replication   H bonds break between bases  
🗑
3rd stage of DNA replication   primer attaches to lead and lag strand at 3 end  
🗑
4th stage of DNA replication   DNA polymerase adds free nucelotides to 3 end  
🗑
5th stage Of DNA replication   lag strand replication in fragments, lead strand replicated continuously  
🗑
6th stage of DNA replication   ligases seals DNA fragments together  
🗑
role of DNA polymerase   adds free DNA nucelotides to 3 end  
🗑
Role of ligase in DNA polymerase   joins lag fragments  
🗑
what type of speciation occurs from geographic barriers   allopatric  
🗑
what type of speciation occurs from behavioural barriers   sympatric  
🗑
what type of speciation occurs from ecological barriers   sympatric  
🗑
what are areas where closely related species interbreed   hybrid zones  
🗑
how are hybrids removed from gene pool   natural selection  
🗑
what is a practical application of PCR   forensics/paterntity tests  
🗑
2 roles of stem cells   mitosis and differentiation  
🗑
what is differentiation   turning genes on or off to make specific protein  
🗑
advantage of differentiation   saves ATP  
🗑
unspecialised cells of plants   meristem  
🗑
unspecialised cell in animals   stem  
🗑
2 types of stem cell   adult and embryo  
🗑
ethical issue of stem cells   destroys embryo  
🗑
3 domains of life   bacteria archaea and eukaryoate  
🗑
we all derive from a ...   common ancestor  
🗑
types of graphs for studying evolution   phylogenetics and molecular clocks  
🗑
therapeutic use of stem cells   grow organs from stem cells for transplant OR inject stems cells which specialises into pancreas cells to treat diabetes  
🗑
why undertake stem cell research   to learn more about differentiation/mitosis OR to learn more about diseases or for drug testing by using model cells  
🗑
how can DNA be transferred   vertical or horizontal  
🗑
which technique is faster to transfer DNA   horizontal  
🗑
transferring DNA from parent to offspring is termed   vertical gene transfer  
🗑
what type of vertical gene transfer offers variety   sexual  
🗑
what is meant by antiparallel in DNA   one strand 5' to 3' other strand 3' to 5'  
🗑
what direction does DNA replication occur   5' to 3'  
🗑
What does a eukaryote have that prokaryotes do not have   nucleus  
🗑
what are the two components of the backbone of DNA   deoxyribose and phosphate  
🗑
what enzyme replicates DNA   DNA polymerase  
🗑
Why must DNA polymerase be heat tolerant   present which DNA is denatured at high temperatures/90 degrees and does not denature  
🗑
What are the short pieces of DNA used to start DNA replication   primers  
🗑
what is stage one of making a protein called   transcription  
🗑
what is stage two of making a protein called   translation  
🗑
name a post translational modification   add phosphate/carbohydrate or cut and combine protein  
🗑
what type of organism undergo post translational modification   only eukaryotes (why yeast is a better vector than bacteria)  
🗑
Name the enzyme involved in synthesis of primary transcript   RNA polymerase  
🗑

🗑
what are coding regions called   exons  
🗑
Name a role of introns   transcribed but not translated OR regulates transcription  
🗑
A role of tRNA is   to bind to a specific AA or takes AA to ribosome  
🗑
DO tRNA molecules have codons or anticodons   anticodons  
🗑
Name the three gene mutations   deletion insertion and subsitution  
🗑

🗑
what is a gene mutation   random change to base sequene  
🗑
what is a chromosome structure mutation   random change to sequence of GENES on chromosome  
🗑
what are the 4 types of chromosome structure mutation   duplication translocation inversion and insertion  
🗑
what is non disjunction   when all spindle fibres fail during cell division (not mitosis)  
🗑
what is a polyploidy plant   has at least one extra set of chromosome (3n, 4, or 5n)  
🗑
what Is hybrid vigour   when hybrid is disease resistant/produces increased yield  
🗑
what type of chromosome structure can be advantageous in terms of evolution   duplication  
🗑
how using bioinformatics be used to work out how related two species are   look at DNA base sequence/sequence data and the more similar the sequence the more related the two species  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
