bio 104 final

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
overuse of antibiotics:   drug resisting bacteria (already have mutations)  
🗑
gene expression   making a protein and its function  
🗑
genetic drift   random event that changes allele frequency (Ex: massive natural disaster)  
🗑
allopatric speciation   different and geographically isolated  
🗑
adaptive radiation   end up with many species coming from one main species (Ex: finches)  
🗑
interphase   between cytokinesis and beginning of mitosis  
🗑
codons   3 nucleotides in a genetic code  
🗑
mitosis   ends up with the exact number of chromosomes it started with  
🗑
meiosis   ends up with half the number of chromosomes it started with  
🗑
caspasses   enzyme that brings about apoptosis (need signals to trigger them)  
🗑
transcriptional control   the most critical level of eukaryotic genetic control  
🗑
post translational control   level of primary control in eukaryotic gene activity involves changes in the polypeptide chain before it becomes functional  
🗑
post transcriptional control   a form of gene regulation that occurs while RNA is still in the nucleus  
🗑
transposons   "jumping genes" (like the ALU insert) have the ability to move within and between chromosomes  
🗑
transcription factors   a change in a regulatory gene can turn genes on and off  
🗑
germ line mutations   damage in sex cells that is going to be passed on to the next generation  
🗑
chromatin   level of control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells is involved when genes are turned off for good  
🗑
differentiated cells   will never divide again. they become specialized and go on to do their function  
🗑
gametes produced by females   1 egg  
🗑
gametes produced by males   4 sperm= more variety  
🗑
homologous chromosomes   same length and centromere in the same location (alleles are what is different)  
🗑
binary fission differs from mitosis because   no nucleus and no spindle  
🗑
DNA repair enzyme complexes   look for mistakes and begin to repair DNA  
🗑
the semi-conservative nature of DNA replication   you split apart the old and you add a new half to each  
🗑
exons   section of the pre-mrna contains the protein coding regions  
🗑
incomplete dominance   gene dosage (Ex: pink flower)  
🗑
mitosis   growth, repair, and reproduction for asexually reproducing organisms  
🗑
overal function of meiosis   makes gametes  
🗑
metaphase 1 of meiosis or meiosis 1   synapse homologous chromosomes arranged along the equator  
🗑
transitional control   the level of genetic control that involves the life span of the mRNA molecule and the ability of the mRNA to bind to ribosomes  
🗑
post transcriptional   the level of genetic control that involves the processing of early rna transcripts to mrna and the rate at which mrna leaves the nucleus  
🗑
post translational   level of primary control in eukaryotic gene activity involves changes in the polypeptide chain before it becomes functional  
🗑
telomerase   lengthens the telomere  
🗑
poly A tail   stop it from degrading and helps it exit the nucleus  
🗑
Barr body   (only female) X chromosome gets turned off and is very tightly coiled  
🗑
apoptosis   pre-programmed cell death  
🗑
lethal genes   deadly, inbreeding increases this, and they are a recessive genes. A heterozygote can have it and not die  
🗑
analogous structures   same use/function but different look (Ex: butterfly and bat wing)  
🗑


   

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.
