Q

Why are most chromatide pairs “the same?”

A

Because all chromatides (other than sexual ones) have the same genetic material (one from mother, one from father) and are even roughly the same size.

Q

What’s the difference between genetic chromosomes and most others?

A

Others have the exact same genetic material (ADN), while the two genetic chromatides have different genetic material.

Q

Why are chromosomes in paires?

A

One is from the mom and one is from the dad, and they kinda merged together to be the same but also seperate.

Q

Where are chromosomes present in procaryotes?

A

The cytoplasme.

21
Q

Breifly describe how genes are chosen from a strand of DNA

A

Take half of a DNA, make groups of 3 letters (codon), make sentences from those groups.

22
Q

What are genes for?

A

They get copyed as RNAm to get decoded in ribosomes.

23
Q

What are codons and what are their purpose?

A

They are 3 letter words pulled from one half of the ADN and are each assigned one animo acid.

Ribosomes decode these codons one by one and link the proper animo acid in a polypetide chain.

24
Q

How many acides animés are there that codons are assigned to?

A

20.

25
Q

How many codons in total?

A

64!

26
Q

How is ARNm made?

A

Enzymes TRANSCRIBE or COPY a gene into a strand of RNAm.

27
Q

What is Thymine repalced with in RNA?

A

Uracil.

28
Q

What helps the ribosome make a chaine polypeptidique?

A

Transfer RNA. (RNAt)

29
Q

How does transfer RNA work?

A

They have base azoté in their stucture that link up with the base azoté in the RNA in the ribosome. This checks if it is a specific codon. The RNAt then expells an animo acid which links up into the chaine polypeptidique.

30
Q

What is a stop codon?

A

It stops the ribosome (or tRNAs) decoding the RNA and lets the polypeptidique chain go.
