Study These Flashcards
A

21
Q

semiconservative

Study These Flashcards
A

each double helix is 1/2 old and 1/2 new

22
Q

enzyme that breaks hydrogen bonds between base pairs

23
Q

enzyme that links nucleotides together and checks for mistakes

Study These Flashcards
A

DNA polymerase

24
Q

how does genotype determine phenotype

Study These Flashcards
A

DNA determines the synthesis of proteins

25
made connections between DNA and protein using experiments with bread mold; “one gene- one enzyme hypothesis” “one gene-one polypeptide”
Beadle and Tatum
26
2 steps of protein synthesis
transcription and translation
27
copying information in genes (DNA) into RNA molecules
Transcription
28
decoding RNA to make protein
Translation
29
where does transcription occur
in the nucleus
30
enzyme that links RNA nucleotides to complementary DNA nucleotides during transcription
RNA polymerase
31
how many phases are in transcription
3 phases; initiation, elongation, termination
32
what happens in initiation
1) RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter | 2) DNA sequence indicating the beginning of the sequence
33
what happens in elongation
1) RNA polymerase moves along gene | 2) complementary RNA nucleotides bond to DNA and are linked together by RNA polymerase
34
what happens in termination
1) RNA polymerase reaches terminator and detaches from the gene 2) RNA peels away from DNA 3) DNA zips back up
35
what are the three types of RNA
1) messenger (mRNA) 2) ribosomal (rRNA) 3) transfer (tRNA)
36
contains info from DNA; encodes the amino acid sequence to be made
messenger RNA (mRNA)
37
along w protein, makes up ribosomes
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
38
brings correct amino acid to ribosome according to code in mRNA
transfer RNA (tRNA)
39
single strand of RNA; 80 nucleotides long
tRNA
40
complementary to mRNA codons
anticodon
41
initiation in translation
1) mRNA binds to ribosome | 2) tRNA with complementary anticodon binds to start codon on mRNA
42
elongation in translation
1) mRNA moves through ribosome 2) tRNA carrying next aa binds to mRNA 3) aa linked by peptide bonds 4) tRNA detaches and can pick up the same aa for use later in the chain
43
termination in translation
1) stop codon on mRNA reaches ribosome | 2) polypeptide is released from ribosome
44
2 types of mutations
base substitution or base insertion/deletion
45
1 nucleotide replaces w another
base substitution
46
add/ remove 1 or more nucleotides
base insertion/ deletion
47
which type of mutation causes a bigger change in the polypeptide
changes the reading frame ; stop codon could be inserted too early
48
creation of mutations
mutagenesis
49
how does mutagenesis occur
1) spontaneously during DNA replication | 2) via mutagens - agents causing mutation (chemicals, radiation) ex UV light
