(27 cards)
Type of mutation where a single base is replace within another base
base substitution
type of mutation where a base substitution results in amino acid substitution
missense
true or false If transcription is repressed, then translation does not occur?
True. If transcription is repressed, it means that RNA polymerase is prevented from transcribing the DNA into mRNA.
Repression turns genes on.
False they are turned off or their expression is reduced.
type of mutation where a base substitution codes for a stop codon
nonsense
Type of mutation when a base is inserted or deleted
frameshift
Operon includes
operator
genes
promoter
true or false An operator in a operon starts and stops transcription.
True
Lactose
is a disaccharide
can be broken down into glucose and galactose
requires beta galactosidase to be split
true or falase If the E.coli is inoculated into lactose, then beta galactosidase can be produced.
True
The inducer in the lac operon is
allolactose
Type of plasmid that transfers antibiotic resistance
R factor
Mutagens
can be radiation such as UV light
can be chemicals such as food preservatives
substance that causes mutations
true or false At the end of conjugation, both cells contain the plasmid (F+).
True
Type of genetic transfer where naked DNA is transferred to a bacteria
transformation
Techniques that manipulate DNA of an organism
genetic engineering
Type of genetic transfer that requires a plasmid and cell to cell contact
conjugation
Type of genetic transfer uses a bacteriophage to transfer DNA
transduction
Procedure that amplifies and makes more DNA using Thermus aquaticus
PCR
Type of genetic transfer where segments of DNA move from one region to another
transposons
Type of mutation where a single base is replace within another base
base substitution
Plasmids Are
replication separately from chromosomal DNA
enhance pathogenicity
are circular pieces of DNA
Gel Electrophoresis
uses electrical currect to separate DNA molecules
uses PCR to obtain amplified data
the smaller the DNA travels that farther they travel
Gene editing tool that locates a specific DNA sequence and cuts it out
CRISPR-Cas 0
