Central Dogma Flashcards
Explains the flow of genetic materials
Central Dogma
DNA driven DNA synthesis:
replication
DNA driven RNA synthesis:
Transcription
DNA driven Protein synthesis:
Translation
RNA driven DNA synthesis:
Reverse Transcription
A process that:
- Maintains chromosome number
- Ensures all cells in the body have exactly the same genetic material
DNA Replication
Enzyme that Binds to the DNA ORI that unwinds and unzips the DNA forming a Replication Bubble
DNA Helicase
Initial site for DNA synthesis
Replication Fork
An enzyme the relieves the tightening of the supercoil to prevent DNA damage
Topoisomerase
Attaches to each separated strand, stabilizing them, and preventing them from re-annealing (para ndi sila mattach ulit)
Single-strand Binding Protein (SSB)
Enzyme required to specify the starting point of replication and adds a short piece of RNA at the 3’end to serve as a primer
RNA Primase
This enzyme guides the enzyme for DNA replication
Primer
A step where it adds nucleotides to one strand
Elongation
Enzyme that adds complementary DNA nucleotides in a 3’ to 5’ direction
DNA Polymerase
which strand is has the 3’ end at the opening of the replication fork, making it easier and faster for polymerase to addd Nucleotides
Leading strand
which strand has the 3’ end inside of the replication fork, making it more difficult and slower for dna polymerase to add nucleotides
Lagging strand
These are short DNA segments that are formed between the RNA primers
Okazaki fragments
What DNA polymerase is Responsible for adding DNA nucleotides
DNA polymerase Alpha
What DNA polymerase takes over elongation in the leading strand?; The lagging strand?
DNA Polymerase Epsilon
DNA Polymerase Delta
What DNA polymerase is responsible for “Proof reading” the new DNA nucleotides that are being added in both strands
DNA Polymerase Delta
A process that finalizes the new DNA strands
Termination
Enzyme that adds DNA Nucleotides to form the Okazaki fragments
DNA polymerase delta
Removes the daggling flap of short RNA primer but needs help from Dna2 endonuclease
Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1)
An enzyme that binds the Okazaki fragment together to form a single continuous DNA strand
DNA Ligase
When will you know that termination is completed?
Once the replication bubbles meet
Why is DNA replication referred to as SEMICONSERVATIVE
because each DNA molecule formed is made up of an OLD dna and a NEW dna strand
Genes that are inherited by an offspring from its parents that contain the instructions or blueprints for building a new organism
Gene Expression
Building blocks of the cell are proteins fromed by one or more ____ chains built from a combination of amino acids
Polypeptide
