Things I Got Wrong Flashcards
(25 cards)
What process relies on News or computer and statistical analyses to compare genome sequence data
Bioinformatics
Life can be divided into three domains. What processes used to produce evidence to support this claim?
DNA sequencing
What word is used to describe a mutation which results in the addition of an incorrect amino acid into a protein
Missense
Name the enzyme responsible for fixing carbon dioxide into The Calvin cycle
RuBisCO
Why were five roof discs used in each tube
To make the results more reliable/to reduce the effect of atypical results
Suggest an adaptation which would allow a plan to absorb a wider range of wavelengths of light for photosynthesis
They have carotenoids / more of them
What is homeostasis
The state of steady, internal conditions which are optimal
Aestivation is a form of..
Consequential dormancy
Embryonic stem cells can be used therapeutically to differentiate and replace any damaged or diseased tissue because
They are pluripotent and all genes can be switched on
What is the temperature monitoring centre and location of affecter in mammals
Hypothalamus, skin
Why can only the leading strand be completed continuously
DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the 3 prime end of the primer/DNA polymerase replicates in a 5’ to 3’ direction
Why are primers necessary
To give DNA polymerase a start point for replication
What is the DNA in photosynthetic plants
Have both linear and circular chromosomes
What kinds of DNA are in animal cells
They have linear and circular chromosomes
In what ways are non-coding regions used
they are transcribed to tRNA and used to regulate transcription
What answer is expected when talking about accuracy
Improving the equipment used
What should you always remember to include when talking about a conclusion
Relate it back to the aim
The following substances are products in fermentation. ATP, lactate and CO2. Which are products in human muscle cells
ATP and lactate
What would improve the field trial designed to take into account higher soil moisture levels at the bottom of the hill
Randomise the treatment pot
What’s an Example of sexual selection
Female black grouse meeting of the mail with the best display
Why would it be more beneficial to eat Anchovies in this food chain
Plankton > anchovies > salmon
There are fewer trophic levels and therefore have more energy
Name the type of cross use to identify if the genotype of the desired characteristics in Suffolk males is homozygous
Test cross 
Explain the importance of selecting a Suffolk male homozygous for the desired dominant characteristic
So that there is a higher chance of offspring having desired/dominant alleles
What is the effect on structure due to a frameshift mutation
 all the amino acid‘s after the mutation may change
