Ch 14& 10 cell cycle Flashcards
RNA primase
enzyme that makes RNA primers
DNA polymerase
enzyme that makes new DNA strand
leading strand
new DNA strand, made in 1 piece
lagging strand
new DNA strand made in fragments
chromosome
entire double helix of dna
chromatids
identical copies of the same chromosome
monomers -> polymers
extending of a chain of nucleotides, put in energy and add to the 3’ end.
explain the double helix
each strand is 2 nucleic acids held together by a hydrogen bond
-run antiparalell
G1 phase (DNA packaging)

- heterochromatin- regions not being transcribed= easier to compact
- euchromatin- cant be packaged as tightly because the code is still needed
- Dna is packaged by being wrapped around histones
when are chromosomes visible?
when they are about to divide
S Phase
semi-conservative=1 original dna strand in each new chromosome
- Requires
1. an original dna strand to copy
2. monomers to make a copy
3. dna polymerase to do the copying
what are two problems with DNA Polymerase
cannot start a new chain of nucleotides-only extend existing chain
-can only extend towards 3’ end
prokaryote replication
single circular chromosome
-begins at origin of replication
outside circle replicates at 5’->3’ and inner circle works 5->3 in opposite direction.
how does Procaryote cell division work
divide by binary fission
-build new cell inside then create a wall in between (septum) and pinch off at the septum
explain eukaryote chromosomes
chromosome number=karyotype
human karyotype= 46
23 pairs
explain eukaryotic replication
two linear strands are pulled apart by helicase and proteins are attached that leave them separated. then dna polymerase binds a second strand from 5’->3’
