Quiz 1 Material - Intro, Zaia lectures, Hemoglobin/myoglobin Flashcards
Ameloblast
Cell Type That Creates the Enamel
Odontoblast
Forms Dentin, and Found in Pulp
Dentin Sialophosphoprotein (DSPP)
Component in Formation of Dentin,
Gene is seen mutated in Dentinogenesis Imperfecta II and III as well as Dentin Dysplasia II
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Coined the Term ‘animalcules’ and observed oral bacteria
Robert Hooke
Coined the word ‘cells’
Matthias Schleiden
Stated all plants are made of cells and come from one cell
Theodor Schwann
Worked with Matthias Schleiden and proposed three tenants of the cell theory
- all organisms are composed of one or more cell
- the cell is the smallest unit of life
- cells can come from inorganic materials
Rudolf Virchow
Fixes Schleiden and Schwanns third point by saying that cells can only come from previous cells.
Properties of the Archaea
Transcription looks like that of eukaryote, but DNA looks like that of a prokaryote
Steps in Endosymbiotic Theory
-Large anaerobic Host Took up Small aerobic bacteria
- Large bacteria protects and provides nutrients to small one
- small bacteria generates additional energy for larger bacteria
small bacteria loses ability to proliferate independently
Konstantin Mereschkowski
Proposed chloroplasts were distant relative to photosynthetic bacteria
Lynn Margulis
Furthered Mereschkowski’s theory and was all over the endosymbiotic theory.
Evidence to Support Endosymbiotic Theory (6)
- mitochondria and chloroplasts can only arise from pre-existing mitochondria and chloroplasts
- mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own genome that looks like prokaryotes
- both genomes consist of circular DNA with no histones
- Mito and Chloro have their own protein assembly machinery
- antibiotics that black protein synthesis in bacteria also block protein synthesis in mito and chloro
- inhibitors of protein synthesis in eukaryotes dont have an effect on bacterial proteins
Jared Hara
Has Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neruopathy which is a mitochondrial disease that results in blindness
Which came first plant or animal Cells
The animal cell because it only contains mitochondria, while plant has chloro and mito
Features in common between prokaryotes and eukaryotes (5)
- Genetic information in DNA
- The DNA uses common code (ACTG)
- Mechanism of transcription and translation are strikingly similar
- Metabolic pathways are conserved
- chemical energy is stored as ATP
Examining Phylogenetic Tree Reveals (3)
- Life Requires Energy and must conver to useful work
- Biochemical reactions need a catalyst
- life depends on info encoded in genes
Watson and Crick
Identified the Double Helix using X-Ray Crystallography
Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins
Helped with Double Helix Structure determination with Watson and Crick
How Many Base Pairs are in the Human Genome
3 billion
How many protein coding genes are there
20,000
What is the central Dogma of molecular Biology
DNA -> DNA - Replication
DNA -> RNA - Transcription
DNA -> Protein - Translation
Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (DI) Phenotype
- Discolored Teeth
- Poorly Mineralized Dentin
- Fractured Enamel
- Rapid Wear and Attrition of teeth
Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Types and Cause
I - mutation in Collagen gene, and usually associated with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)
II - Have a mutation in the DSPP Gene
III - Aka Brandywine Isolate, and also have mutation in DSPP gene
