Q

what is semiconservitave mean in DNA replication

A

when DNA is being replicated two new stands are formed, one identicle (parental) and one newly synthezied this creates a new semiconservitive DNA because its only semi identivle

Q

what’s the difference between chromosomal mutations and genetic mutations

A

gene mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of a gene that result in change of the phenotypes, chromosomal mutations are physical changes in the structure or number of chromosones

Q

what is nondisjunction mutation

A

when a chromosome fails to separate properly during cell division resulting in to many or to feew chromosome

23
Q

what are frameshift mutations

A

when there’s an extra nucleic base in a genetic mRNA code resulting in the emino acids being produced being affected

24
Q

what are mutagens

A

bad things like chemicals and radioation that cause base pair changes

25
carcinogens
chemical that cause cancer
26
what is recombinant dna
DNA that contains genes from 2 or more sources
27
who was Thomas hunt morgan
he was first to assosciate genes with chromosomes
28
who was fredrick grifith
studied phneumia in rats and how there's different strands of DNA
29
who was chargaff
proposed chargaffs rules Wich where that the bases TA go together and CG go togethr
30
Watson and crick
proved the double helix shape
31
what are purines
notrogen bases with two organic rings AG
32
what are prymidines
nitrogen bases with one organic ring CT
33
what are the bases
TAGC
34
why do we use genetic ingeneering
to control genes and change them and for environmental and educational purpouses
35
what theory does lac operon prove
how the environment and nature ur exposed to can affect ur genes. because without lactose the enzyme isn't present therefore it stops the function of certain genes
36
what bonds are located within DNA
hydrogen bonds
37
what bonds are located in nucleiotides
covalent bonds
38
what is the leading strand in dna
the strand that builds from 5 to 3 and is continuos
39
what's the lagging strand in dna
the starnd that builds from 3 to 5 and is fragments
40
what is PCR (polymerase chai reaction)
a technique used to make copies of specific DNA. when DNA is heated and cooled to separate it and then bonded with primers and DNA polymerase to synthesize new replicated DNA.
41
what are restriction enzymes
the enzymes that cut DNA into fragments
42
what are the three ways DNA can transfer in bacteria
conjunction, transduction, and conjugation
43
what does transduction do
when bacterial DNA is transfered to another bacteria by a virus
44
what does transformation do
bacteria take up free Dna from there enviroment
45
what does conjugation do
DNA is directly transferred from one bacteria to another through a physical connection
46
what do cancer cells have
lack diffrenciation form tumors abnormal nuclei
47
during transcription what does Thymine turn into
Uracil
48
what are transgenic organisms
organisms that have had genes form another species inserted into there genetic material. the inserted gene is known as a transgene
49
what are eugeneitcs
a practice where doctors and scientists edit genetics and change them
50
what are the different dnas in protien synthesis and what do they do
DNA- gets transcribed by DNA polymerase MRNA- the replica of the DNA that was transcribed T gets converted to U RNA- connects to the MRna to help match the codons to the anticodons and produce amino acids TRNA- brings amino acids and codons to the ribosome (RRNA)
51
where does replication occur
nucleus
52
what is the difference between RNA polymerase and DNA polymerase
RNA polymerase works in transcription and DNA polymerase works in replication
53
what is transformation
the processes when non sexual reproductive bacteria get new DNA and it can happen in many ways
