Q

How do viruses reproduce?

A
  1. Virus attach to the host cell, binding to receptor that allows access to the cell.
  2. Virus injects either DNA or RNA into the cell.
  3. Cell take genetic material from virus and begins following instructions. The cell then begins using its resources to reproduce the virus
  4. The cell lyses and releases new phages, allowing these viruses that were reproduce in the cell to infect others cells when it bursts.

17
Q

DNA replication is

A

Semiconservative

18
Q

DNA Replication

A

parental molecule unwinds and serve as templates. Then two identical daughter molecules of DNA are formed.

19
Q

Where does replication begin?

A

Origin of replication

20
Q

In origin of replication

A

DNA unwinds AND produces a “bubble”

Replication proceeds in both directions of the origin.

21
Q

Origin of replication

A

The specific site of replication

22
Q

Replication bubble

A

The open and unwounded area where DNA replication occurs

23
Q

Replication Fork

A

End of a replication bubble. “Y” shaped region where new DNA strands of DNA are elongating.

24
Q

Leading strand

A

CONTINUOUS complementary DNA strand elongating in the 5’ to 3’ direction.

Continuous adding of nucleotides as the replication form progresses.

Only one primer

25
Q

Lagging strand

A

DNA strand elongating in the 3’ to 5’ direction by adding short segments (Okazaki fragments) adding of nucleotides AWAY FROM THE REPLICATION FORK.

More than one primer!

26
Q

Antiparallel elongation

A

DNA strands are oriented in opposite directions of each other.
Affects replication.
DNA polymerase will only add nucleotides to the 3’ end of a growing strand.
A new DNA strand can elongate only in the 5’ to 3’ direction.

27
Q
A
28
Q

Helicase

A

Breaks hydrogen bonds and separates the DNA strands creating two template strands and a replication fork.

29
Q

Topoisomerase

A

Removes helical twist (UNWINDS DNA) by cutting a DNA and releasing the cut.

30
Q

Single Stranded Binding Proteins (SSBs)

A

Stabilize strands and prevent annealing (reconnection of DNA strands)

31
Q

Primase

A

Makes RNA PRIMER
Helps DNA polymerase figure out where to start work.

32
Q

Ligase

A

Joins the sugar-phosphate backbone of Okazaki Fragments to create single DNA strand.

33
Q

DNA polymerase

A

Add nucleotides, makes covalent bonds.
Involved in repairing damaged DNA . (Proof reads DNA)
Replicates DNA to build new strands.

34
Q

Step by step DNA replication

A
  1. Topoisomerase unwinds DNA
  2. Helicase breaks hydrogen bonds to create two template strands
  3. SSBs prevent annealing and stabilizes the strands
  4. Primase will create primer which will allow DNA polymerase to bind and start replication.
  5. DNA polymerase (III) binds to primers and add complementary bases. Lagging strand will stop once it reaches the old primer.
  6. DNA polymerase (I) arrives and removes old primer (RNA nucleotides) with the DNA version.
  7. Ligase joins the Okazaki fragments.
35
Q

How do chromosomes form?

A

DNA is a readable form.
DNA wraps on histones and continuous to wrap wrap wrap into bundles.
Eventually forming into chromatin and then chromosomes.

36
Q

Chromatin

A

Bundles of DNA and proteins (histones) are UNORGANIZED

37
Q

Chromosomes

A

Bundles of DNA and proteins but ORGANIZED
