Q

all cells have the same dna except

A

for gametes and red blood cells,

cells that have the same dna can differ in pritine compositiuons to code for specicif features

Q

all organisms

A

use the same gene code

17
Q

replication, transcription and translation occure

A

in a 5 (carbon) 3 (phosphate) direction

18
Q

dna polymerase

A

enzyme for synthesising dna molecules diring replication

19
Q

miss matches in base

A

a+g too short
c+t too long

miss matches lead to structural instabilityu causing death in cells or cancer

19
Q

a and t

c and g

A

form 2 H bons

form 3 H bonds

20
Q

eukarotyotic dna

A

in nucleus, asspciated with histone proteins which protect dns

21
Q

prokaryotic dna

A

in cytoplams, hasnno huistones §

22
Q

nucleosome

A

dna ith 150 base pares wrapped aeound core of 8 (4 pairs) of histones

Nuclesomes are called dna linkers have dna flowijg between

(only eukaryotic dna)

23
Q

nucleosomes play role in

A

gene expression and dna coilign

24
Q

first organism couldbnt

A

eat others so was an autotroph

25
Q

LUCA

A

protection from uv and enrrgy from . hydrothermal vents (o2 free)

26
Q

elements we need for life

A

ammonia, co2, ch4, o2, phosphate , nitrogen

but they need liwuid solvent to grow (h20)

27
Q

chase and hershey experiment they use a

A

radioactiveisotope in bacterophage and it injects a bacteria, this shows that the dna is the genetic materila since there was radioactise phosophrus in dna and radioactive sulfur in protine coat. then the radioatcitity in bacteria was only seen in phosophurus which shows the virus injected this part

28
Q

viruses in liquid are

A

radioactive, but are not in sediment

29
Q

chargaff analysed the dna uding

A

paper chromatrography but falsified the theory of repeating sequence of the four bases in DNA.

30
Q

section of dna

A

gene

31
Q

i gene encloses

A

1 polypeptide protine

32
Q

polynucleitide

A

strand

33
Q

3 baaes

A

per aminoacid

34
Q

dna esta o ultimate

A

and full infomation store for the production of the organism

(full detailed manual)

35
Q

rna is involved in the

A

sharing of small sections of the “dna manual” for the functioning of organisms/cell

like a photocopyer

36
Q

rna is found

A

all around cell in cytoplams but produced in nucleus,, dna is so in nucleus
