2A Flashcards
Central dogma
Info flow DNA->protein,why? Convert genotype-> phenotype
I.e.: transcription and translation
Where do transcription and translation occurs in prokaryotes
Cytoplasm
Where do transcription and translation occurs in eukaryotes
Transcription-nucleus
Translation-cytoplasm
Replication…___->____
DNA->DNA, DNA poly
Transcription…___->____
DNA->RNA using RNA poly
Translation…___->___
RNA->protein using ribosome
Rev. Transcription… ___->____
RNA->DNA,rev. Transcriptase
Beagle and Tatum hypothesis
Gene encode enzyme that works at each step in biochemical pathway to make essential nutrient
In the one gene one enzyme protein hypothesis what happens if you mutate a gene encoding an enzyme
A block in the metabolic pathway and organism can no longer make needed nutrient (autotroph/mutant)
Isolating ___ auxotrophic mutant conclusion
If after arrow and added then it can grow
If before arrow and added then can’t grow
2 types of RNA encoded by genes
- Coding RNA (mRNA)
- Non coding RNA (tRNA, rRNA, snRNA,microRNA)
Coding RNA
Code for protein/polypeptide
Noncoding RNA
Not code for protein
Genetic code??
Nucleotide info to a.a.sequence (in 4 nucleotide bases-ATGC for DNA OR RNA AUGC)
DNA has ____ letter code
Three-> triplet so 64 comb. (4^3)
