Q

Semi conservative replication

A
  • When original DNA strand splits.

- Nucleotides fill remaining haves of DNA to make 2 identical strands.

17
Q

The original half is called….

The new ones is called….

A

Template

Complementary strand

18
Q

All cells have enzymes

A

(endonucleases) -natural genetic scissors

19
Q

Bacteria have special endonucleases called

A

Restriction enzymes -used in the lab genetic scissors

There are over 200 diff restriction enzymes

20
Q

The Ligase enzyme is….

A

A type of glue that can repair the damage done to DNA by restriction enzymes

21
Q

Recombinant DNA

A

From one species to another (glow in the dark monkey)

22
Q

Proteins are produced by

A

The ribosomes

-20 diff amino acids

23
Q

Made up of proteins

A
Cell membranes
Hair
Repair
Growth
Maintenance
Enzymes 
Antibodies
Hormones
24
The order of DNA bases ultimately determines
The order that amino acids are arranged
25
The role of DNA in protein synthesis:
All living organisms have A,T,C,G -proteins are generated from the order of amino acids which is determined by order of DNA bases.
26
Oncogenes:
Gean that make you more Likely to get cancer. Cancer cells- often display nitrogen base substitution -arise cause of mutations that alter DNA
27
Genome (gene pool)
All of the genes that occur in a population
28
Hardy & Weinberg suggest | The gene pool or allel frequency would remain the same for many generations if there were these 5 constants-
``` Large populations Random mating No mutations No migrations Equal viability ``` This is not hardly possible. So the gene pool will change
29
p
The frequency of the do infant allele
30
q
He frequency of the recessive allele
31
p2
Homozygous dominant genotype
32
2pq
Heterozygous genotype
33
q2
Homozygous recessive genotype
34
Allele frequency
How many times an allele "a" shows up in a population)
35
Genotypic frequency
He amount of times a genotype shows up in a population
36
Three factors that bring about evolutionary change are:
1) mutations 2) gene flow 3) genetic drift
37
Mutations
Randomly occurring events which effect the genetics of an individual or a population
38
Gene flow
(Migration) - organisms move. Moving their genetics either into or out of a population.
39
Genetic drift
(Genetics of a population changes due to chance) 1) founder effect-new population arises due to geographic isolation 2) bottleneck effect-new population arises due to a disaster or loss of #'s
