21
Q

2 main stages of cycle

A

Interphase (non dividing)
Mitosis (dividing)

22
Q

3 subphases of interphase

A

G1 phase: growth
S phase: synthesis of DNA
G2 phase: prep for cell division

23
Q

4 subphases of mitosis

A

Prophase: condense chromatin, attach fibers, breakdown of nuclear envelope

Metaphase: alignment
Anaphase: separation
Telophase: division

24
Q

Interphase

A

Prior to mitosis

25
Q

Prophase

A

Chromatin condenses to chromosomes, nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappear, spindle fibers form

26
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes line up in the middle

27
Q

Anaphase

A

Sister chromatids pull apart

28
Q

Telophase

A

Reorganization phase ( undo the events of prophase by:
-Chromosomes relax into chromatin
-Nuclear envelope and nucleolus reappear
-Spindle fibers break down

29
Q

Monomer of DNA as :

A

Nucleotide

30
Q

Phosphate

A

Bonded to pentos deoxyribose through covalent bonds

31
Q

Nitrogen base

A

Bonded to pentos deoxyribose through hydrogen bonds

32
Q

4 nitrogen bases

A

Adenine, guanine (purines)
Thymine, cytosine (pyrimidines)

33
Q

Reagents used for DNA extraction

A

Detergent, ethanol, salt, meat tenderizer

34
Q

Ethanol

A

Precipitates dna

35
Q

Salt

A

Stabilizes the DNA

36
Q

Meat tenderizer

A

Breaks down histone protein

37
Q

Detergent

A

Opens membrane to get the DNA

38

Histone protein

A

Provides structural support for a chromosome

39
Q

DNA has what kind of charge

A

Negative

40
Q

PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

A

A

1-5%
Genes

42
Q

Tandem repeats

A

two or more DNA bases that is repeated numerous times in a head to tail manner on chromosomes

43
Q

Restriction enzyme

A

(Bacterial origin) Cuts DNA

44
Q

How many bands are visible

A

2 bands

45
Q

Helicase

A

Breaks the weak hydrogen bonds holding the DNA strands together

46
Q

DNA polymerase

A

Catalyze the addition of the new nucleotides during replication

47
Q

DNA ligase

A

Facilitates joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of bond

48
Q

Leading strand

A

Forms towards dividing part

49
Q

Lagging strand

A

Forms away

50
Q

Okazaki fragment

A

Pieces of lagging strand joined together by enzyme ligase

51
Q

Semi conservative replication

A

Each resulting daughter molecule consists of 1 original strand and 1 newly synthesized strand
