Question
Answer
Structure contains nitrogenous basesA, G, C, U, pentose sugar, ribose, usually consists of single strand, can coil back on itself, forms hair-shaped structures with complementary base pairing and helical organization, base pairing rules A with U and G wit   RNA  
🗑
contains a nitrogenous base and pentose sugar   nucleoside  
🗑
are the three types of RNA that differ from each other in function, site of synthesis in eucaryotic cells, and structure   mRNA, tRNA, rRNA  
🗑
All genetic material of an organism   genome  
🗑
Genomes of bacteria consist of   Chromosomes  
🗑
Allow transfer of genes between cells   fertility factors  
🗑
Resistance to antibiotics or heavy metals   resistance factors  
🗑
For bacteriocin toxins to kill other bacteria   bacteriocin factors  
🗑
Provide functions involved in pathogenesis   virulence factors  
🗑
Single DNA molecule, No histones, Haploid(No dominance/recessiveness), Located in the nucleoid, 4,377 genes in E. coli (1mm of DNA in 1μm of space)   Bacterial Chromosome  
🗑
It can be copied,It can be expressed,It can be changed,It can be repaired if damaged, and It can be recombined/exchanged are the five things that can happen to   genetic information  
🗑
usually exists as closed circular, supercoiled molecule associated with basic proteins   Procaryotic DNA  
🗑
Allows DNA to fit in the cell and Helps control access to DNA   supercoiling  
🗑
molecules responsible for supercoiling and relaxing DNA,Ex. Gyrase   Topoisomerases  
🗑
linear molecules,associated with histones,coiled into repeating units called nucleosomes   eukaryotic DNA  
🗑
Within each cell genetic information flows from   DNA to RNA to protein  
🗑
This flow of information is   unidirectional and irreversible  
🗑
Conversion of DNA encoded information to RNA is called   transcription  
🗑
Conversion of information from mRNA to protein is called   translation  
🗑
Nucleotide sequence in DNA dictates the end product (protein) synthesis-called   genetic code  
🗑


   

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.
