Q

elongation 12:00

19
Q

nondisjunction

A

only 1 chromosome

20
Q

trisomy

A

3 chromosomes

21
Q

why is meiosis important for evolution

A

rapidly
provides variability for natural selection to act on

22
Q

protein synthesis

A

protein from amino acids
RNA

23
Q

RNA

A

different nucleotide; (U) will bind to A

24
Q

3 types of RNA

A

messenger - nucleus
transfer - cytoplasm (set of 3 nucleotides)
ribosomal - ribosomes

26
mRNA
27
tRNA
28
rRNA
29
substitution error
a nucleotide is substituted, but the following ones aren't altered
30
insertion error
extra nucleotide inserted, changing sequence after the insertion point (completely changing protein)
31
deletion error
a nucleotide is deleted, changing sequence after that
32
allele
code in a specific area (plural is genes)
33
regulatory genes
34
homeobox genes
ancient group of regulatory genes involved in determining patterns of anatomical development in utero (i.e. where limbs go); regulates gene expression and cell differentiation; phenotype
