Q

prophase

A

DNA and proteins condense into tightly coiled chromosomes. The nuclear envelope breaks down, centrioles begin to move to opposite poles, and spindle fibers form

Q

cytokinesis

A

cytokinesis divides cytoplasm between two daughter cells, each with a genetically identical nucleus. The cells enter interphase and begin the cycle again.

17
Q

Structure of a nucleotide

A

DNA is a nucleic acid. Each DNA molecule consists of 2 long chains of nucleotides. DNA has 3 parts in each nucleotide:
1. sugar molecule - deoxyribose
2. phosphate group
3. nitrogen containing base
one of 4 kinds:
- adenine - A
- guanine - G
- cytosine - C
- thymine - T

19
Q

Differences between transcription, translation, and protein synthesis

A

Transcription- the process by which genetic info is copied from DNA to RNA

Translation- the process of:
genetic code —–> amino acids —–> proteins (nucleotides in RNA)
tRNA (transfer RNA) - transports amino acids to ribosomes

Protein synthesis- Proteins carry out the genetic instructions encoded in an organisms DNA. They are made of a sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.

20
Q

Transcription (3 pts)

A

the process by which genetic info is copied from DNA to RNA

  • The process of transcription makes copies of only one gene at a time
  • Following transcription the RNA molecule moves through the nuclear membrane into the cytosol. Here it will direct the synthesis of proteins.
21
Q

3 steps of transcription

A
  1. RNA polymerase (an enzyme) makes RNA copies of specific sequences of DNA It binds to the beginning of the DNA chain that will be transcribed.
  2. the DNA molecule separates into 2 chains, only 1 of which serves as a template for the new RNA molecule.
  3. the enzyme adds base pairs until it reaches the termination signal
    • cytosine- guanine
    • adenine - uracil
22
Q

Translation

A

the process of:
- genetic code —–> amino acids —–> proteins (nucleotides in RNA)

  • tRNA (transfer RNA) - transports amino acids to ribosomes
23
Q

Protein Synthesis

A

Proteins carry out the genetic instructions encoded in an organisms DNA. They are made of a sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.

24
Q

mRNA

A

Messenger RNA (mRNA)- the type of RNA that carries genetic information from the nucleus to ribosomes to form proteins during translation.

consists of RNA nucleotides in the form of a single uncoiled chain. mRNA carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell.

25
Q

tRNA

A

Transfer RNA (tRNA) -the type of RNA that carries amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome during transcription

consists of a single chain of about 80 RNA nucleotides folded into a hairpin shape that binds to a specific amino acid. There are about 45 varieties of tRNA

26
Q

rRNA

A

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) - the type of RNA found in ribosomes. It’s part of the ribosomes involved in making proteins during translation.

is the most abundant form of RNA. rRNA consists of RNA nucleotides in a globular form. Joined by proteins, rRNA makes up the ribosomes where proteins are made.

27
Q

Codon (3 pts)

A
  • a sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule
  • Each combination of 3 nucleotides is called a codon. Each codon makes an amino acid.
  • These codons make up the genetic code. It is universal among organisms. This supports the idea that all organisms are evolutionarily related
28
Q

Genetic code among kingdoms/organisms

A

These codons make up the genetic code. It is universal among organisms. This supports the idea that all organisms are evolutionarily related

29
Q

Enzymes involved in translation and transcription (important)

A

Transcription: RNA polymerase

30
Q

mutation

A

The process of DNA replication occurs with a high degree of accuracy - I error /1 billion nucleotides. Each error is called a mutation

31
Q

Diploid

A

Cell that has both chromosomes of a homologous pair.
Contains 2 sets of chromosomes
- in mitosis

32
Q

Haploid

A

Having only one chromosome of each homologous pair. (Half)
Contains a single set of chromosomes

33
Q

Chromosome

A

Tightly packed genetic material

34
Q

Daughter cells

A

The identical cells produced after mitosis

35
Q

Homologous chromosome

A

Pairs of chromosomes that carry the same genes

36
Q

Chromatid

A

One of the identical rods of a chromosome

37
Q

Gamete

A

Sex cell; sperm or egg

38
Q

Chromatin

A

Loose strands of DNA found in the nucleus

39
Q

replication

A

the process of copying DNA in a cell
