Question
Answer
DNA stands for   deoxyribonucleic acid  
🗑
what make us a nucleotide   phosphate group, nitrogen base, and a sugar  
🗑
Deoxyribose is   5 carbon sugars  
🗑
what are the nitrogen bases   Adenine-Thymine Cytosine-guanine  
🗑
What shape is DNA   double helix shape  
🗑
the shape was credited to..   watson and cricket  
🗑
the original founder of the shape was   Rosalind Franklin  
🗑
Rosalind provided the data and pictures using a   X-ray Crystallography  
🗑
---- ---- hold together base pairs (A-T, C-G)   Hydrogen bonds  
🗑
---- are negatively charged   phosphate  
🗑
these bonds hold the negative charges together   hydrogen bonds  
🗑
why is DNA in this organelle   DNA is in the nucleus for more protection since the nucleus has an extra membrane  
🗑
this process produces more chromosomes   mitosis  
🗑
a ---- is larger than a nucleotide   chromosome  
🗑
a segment of DNA is called   Genes  
🗑
What kind of info does DNA contain   coding fro the appearance and function of an organism  
🗑
some DNA code for   proteins  
🗑
Where is DNA located and within what   DNA is located within genes in the nucleus  
🗑
this does not undergo mitosis in DNA   chromatin  
🗑
DNA is tightly wound by   histone proteins  
🗑
DNA replicates using a   semi conservative model, where the parental strand is the new template  
🗑
how much DNA came from the original strand that was replicated   one half  
🗑
How do nucleotide know where to go   they know based on the original code  
🗑
DNA replication happens before what   before the cell divides in the nucleus  
🗑
we need these to live   proteins  
🗑
what functions do proteins perform   they make amino acids, digest waste, any enzyme activity, ATP synthase manufactures ATP, make you able to have adrenaline rushes, hemoglycogen carries oxygen, and transports things in and out of the cell  
🗑
proteins are located where   cell, nucleus, cytoplasm, and membrane  
🗑
proteins are synthesized from   amino acids that are folded  
🗑
proteins are the end result of what   transcription and translation of info from DNA  
🗑
these proteins fight of antigens   antibodies  
🗑
these proteins help muscles to contract allowing for locomotion   actin and myosin  
🗑
these enzymes assist with DNA replication of pepsin   helicase DNA polymerase and ligase  
🗑
this is used to digest proteins   pepsin  
🗑
transcription happens in   DNA  
🗑
this unwinds DNA double helix   RNA polymerase  
🗑
this transcribes info from DNA   RNA  
🗑
these bases from mRNA bonds to the bases in the DNA   nitrogen  
🗑
why does mRNA bond with DNA   to read and the write down the info  
🗑
transcription occurs in the   nucleus  
🗑
during this process mRNA carries the transcribed message to a ribosome in the cytoplasm   translation  
🗑
these that have rRNA in them help to bring together mRNA and tRNA   ribosomes  
🗑
mRNA --- bond to transfer RNA anti---   codons  
🗑
mRNA codons bond to transfer RNA anticodons is so the tRNA can translate the message into an   amino acid  
🗑
codons are   segments of 3 nucleotide  
🗑
---- codons code for ---- amino acids   different  
🗑
amino acids are folded to form   proteins  
🗑
--- codons from mRNA can produce 20 different amino acids   64  
🗑
UGA tells the code to   stop  
🗑
Amino acids are held together by -- bonds   peptide  
🗑
amino acids that are held together form   polypeptide chains  
🗑
proteins are folded based on   where they will be sent  
🗑
what is the order which proteins will be folded   primary, secondary, tertiary, and quatermary  
🗑
these assist in the folding of other proteins   chaperon proteins  
🗑
if they don't get folded right what happens   they don't work which means you won't work  
🗑
At the end of the chromosomes are stretches of DNA called   telomeres  
🗑
what does telomeres do   protect out genetic data, make it possible for cells to divide, hold secrets of how we age and get cancer  
🗑
telomere like chromosomes from   fraying and sticking to each other, which would destroy or scramble and organism genetic info  
🗑
each time a cell divides the telomere gets ----, when it gets too ----- the cell can't divide   shorter  
🗑
the shortening process of telomeres is linked with   aging, cancer, and higher risk of death  
🗑
sequence of DNA chains of chemical code, made up of the 4 nucleic bases   telemeres  
🗑
telomeres are made of repeating sequences of   TTAGGG on one strand which is paired with AATCCC on another  
🗑
one section of telomere is a repeat made of   6 base pairs  
🗑
In white blood cells the length of telmeres range from --- pairs in newborns, ---- in adults, and ---- in elderly   8000, 3000, 1500  
🗑
An entire chromosome has about -- --- base pairs   150 million  
🗑
Each times a cell loses about --- to --- base pairs   30 to 200  
🗑
telomeres do not shorten in   tissues  
🗑
telomeres allows a cell to divide without   losing genes  
🗑
cell division is necessary for growing   new skin, blood, bone and other cells  
🗑
without telomeres the chromosomes would ----   fuse together and corrupt the cell's genetic blueprint  
🗑
why do telomeres get shorter   When each new matching strand is complete, it is a bit shorter than the original strand because of the room needed at the end for this small piece of RNA.  
🗑
An enzyme named---- adds bases to the ends of telomeres.   telomerase  
🗑
------ keeps telomeres from wearing down too much so there is soon no more to use   telomerase  
🗑
---- remains active in sperm and eggs   telomerase  
🗑
If a cell becomes cancerous it --- ---- ---- , and the telomeres become to short, so either the cell dies or hacks the system and makes more telomerase enzyme   divides more often  
🗑
---- ---- may be a way to detect cancer   measuring telomerase  
🗑
----- telomerase could impair fertility , wound healing, and production of blood cells and immune system cells   blocking  
🗑
------ telomeres are associated with ---- lives   shorter  
🗑
After age -- the risk of death doubles every 8 years   60  
🗑
A major cause of aging is   oxidative stress  
🗑
is the damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids caused by oxidants, which are highly reactive substances containing oxygen   oxidative stress  
🗑
another cause of aging is   glycation  
🗑
this happens when glucose binds to some of our DNA, proteins, and lipids, leaving the unable to do theirs jobs   glycation  
🗑
oxidative stress, glycation, telomere shortening, and chronological age along with various genes all work together to cause   aging  
🗑
People with a disease named ----- ---- have telomeres that get short much more quickly than normal.   dyskeratosis congenita  
🗑
people with dyskeratosis congenita endure   premature aging and death  
🗑
About 1% of your DNA contains the information that codes for this process   protein synthesis  
🗑
This is the sugar in RNA   ribose  
🗑
This is a process that proteins on a membrane assist with   facilitated diffusion  
🗑
