🗑
Adenine pairs with....   thymine  
🗑
Guanine pairs with...   cytosine  
🗑
Are C-G bonds more stable or are A-T bonds more stable?   C-G because of 3 hydrogen bonds

What are the 4 types of nitrogenous bases   adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine  
🗑
purines   adenine and guanine  
🗑
pyrimidines   cytosine and thymine  
🗑
In RNA U (uracil) replaces....   thymine

🗑
Blue colonies   no insert  
🗑
white colonies   contains insert  
🗑
Chain terminating nucleotides   ddNTPs  
🗑
What are the differences btwn sanger sequencing and PCR   ddNTPs in sanger and theres 2 primers for PCR and only 1 for DNA sequencing  
🗑
Shows where your cloning gene is expressed   Reporter gene  
🗑
The enzyme that cuts at a specific site is   restriction enzyme  
🗑
DNA fingerprinting is   used to identify persons base on their unique DNA  
🗑
Southern blot is to detect specific   DNA  
🗑
The enzyme use in PCR is   DNA ligase  
🗑

🗑
cDNA is:   eukaryotic DNA with only exons that can be cloned into prokaryotes  
🗑
Scientists use PUC18 as a gene cloning vector that includes a gene for a portion of beta-galactosidase   if foreign DNA is inserted, the beta galactosidase marker is inactivated, and the colonies remain white  
🗑
To carry out sanger sequencing a mixture is needed containing   SSDNA, DNA polymerase, four deoxyribonucleotides a,t,c,g  
🗑
What is the function of dideoxynucleotides in sanger DNA sequencing   they stop synthesis at a specific site, so the base at that site can be determined  
🗑
a method for determining the DNA sequence of an entire genome. After a genome is cut into small fragments, each fragment is sequenced and then placed in the proper order   whole genome shotgun method  
🗑
ddNTPs are used in which biochemical reactions   DNA sequencing

🗑
Genome-wide gene expression patterns can be studied using   microarrays  
🗑
To use a microarray, mRNA from cells of interest are first converted to   cDNA  
🗑
When DNA is damaged by UV light and is not repaired   neither DNA replication nor transcription can occur and the organism will probably die

🗑
Proofreading by DNA polymerase involves the removal of   several bases on the newly synthesized strand of DNA  
🗑

🗑
Which of the following best describes the function of telomerase at the telomere?   it adds new DNA to the longer strand of the DNA overhang  
🗑


   

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.
