25
heterozygous
individual trait that has two different alleles (Aa)
26
monohybrid cross
cross between parents that are heterozygous for a single trait - true for all sexually reproducing organisms
27
law of independent assortment
alleles for different traits segregate and assort independently - from dihybrid cross - only true for genes on different chromosomes or separated by distance on same chromosome
28
dihybrid cross
cross between parents that are heterozygous for two traits (YyRr)
29
polygenic inheritance
- traits determined by multiple genes - traits show continuous variation - each gene makes small contribution to phenotype - example: height
30
incomplete dominance
- don't have clear dominant-recessive relationship - cross between two heterozygous parents - results in 1:2:1 ratio
31
codominance
- don't have clear dominant-recessive relationship - each allele of gene is expressed and determines phenotype - example: human blood - strong alleles show both phenotypes
32
human blood types are determined by what...
by the sugar molecule on the surface of the red blood cell
33
multiple alleles
human blood is example....just has multiple alleles
34
environmental factors
there are temperature sensitive alleles of certain genes
35
What is the sugar exhibited in blood type A?
galactosamine
36
What is the sugar exhibited in blood type B?
galactose
37
What is the sugar exhibited in blood type AB?
galactosamine and galactose
38
What is the sugar exhibited in blood type O?
none
39
replication process
``` opening DNA double helix (opens at ori) building a primer assembling complementary strands removing primer joining okazaki fragments ```
40
replication origin
``` span of 100 bp attract initiator protein have fewer hydrogen bonds and easy to open often A-T-rish stretch of DNA numerous in human, one in bacteria ```
41
semiconservative replication
When a DNA strand splits in half, the parent strands from the original DNA strand replicate and form two new daughter strands. Creates a new double-stranded DNA.
42
DNA polymerase III
copys DNA; uses primer or hydroxyl group to add nucleotides to RNA primer
43
DNA helicase
opens DNA for replication; unzips
44
DNA primase
comes in to make primer (RNA nucleotide; 10 bases long)
45
single-strand DNA-binding protein
stabilize single strand; prevents them from pairing back together
46
replication forks
- two replication forks are formed at each replication origin - move in both directions - move at rate of 1000 bp/sec in bacteria - move at rate of 100 bp/sec in humans
47
DNA polymerase I
removes old primer and replaces it with DNA nucleotides
48
replication forks are asymmetrical or symmetrical?
asymmetrical
49
DNA ligase
join okazaki fragments together
50
the leading strand grows....
continuously
51
the lagging strand grows...
discontinuously (okazaki fragments)
52
telomere
- 6 bp repeats (TTAGGG) - 10,000-15000 bases or 10-15 kb - shortening/ replication
53
telomerase
enzyme that is complimentary to 6-bp repeats (TTAGGG); pairs very end and creates a template, and extends telomere longer so another okazaki fragment can be created also linked with aging
54
telomerase is made up of what?
reverse transcriptase + telomere RNA
55
types of DNA damage
depurination deamination T-T dimer accidental double-strand break
56
depurination
removes purine base so nucleic acid is missing one its main opponents
57
deamination
removes the amino group and leaves an oxygen in its place which then causes a mismatch
58
T-T dimer
caused by UV radiation; covalent bond between two thymines
59
accidental double-strand break
cause by UV radiation; repair usually cause a deletion of many genes
60
consequences of DNA damage
point mutation | deletion mutation
61
point mutation
caused by deaminated C, therefore is a U instead of a C and the new daughter strands brings in A instead of G creates mutated replicated DNA and unchanged
62
deletion mutation
caused by depurinated A, therefore where there should be an A, there is none; so on the new daughter strand, we are just missing a gene creates mutated replicated DNA and unchanged
63
3' to 5' exonuclease
when replication mistake occurs, this enzyme comes in and repairs it by taking off mismatched base and replacing with correct base
64
unrepaired DNA strand can cause what?
it can cause a mutated strand which then can cause a disease such as sickle cell anemia
65
error rates
1/10^7 replicated bp without repair | 1/10^9 replicated bp with repair
