Q

What is the process of the RecBCD pathway of recombination? (3)

A

1) Rec A protein binds to double stranded break
2) Rec BCD attatches leading to single strand invasion and D loop formation
3) Ruv AB and Ruv C bind and complete recombination

Q

What is the process of double-stranded break model of meiotic recombination? part 1

A

1) Spo11 generates an asymmetric double-strand cut in one of the chromatids
2) Mrx and Exol digest single strands
3) Rad51 and Dmc1 facilitate strand invasion and D loop formation
4) Holliday junction created

Q

What is the process of double-stranded break model of meiotic recombination? part 2

A

1) Rad52 and Rad59 assist DNA synthesis of the invading strand
2) the 3’ end of the invading stand joins to the 5’ end of its original chromatid by ligation
3) non-sister chromatids are now connected by double Holliday junctions

17
Q

What are the two ways that transposable genetic elements move?

A

1) excision
2) duplication

18
Q

A transposable element can cause a mutation if it inserts into a wild-type allele and disrupts its function, this is called _______

A

insertional inactivation

19
Q

What are the two elements that all transposable elements have in common?

A

1) terminal inverted repeats
2) flanking direct repeats

20
Q

What is the process of transposition?

A

1) staggered cuts are made by transposase
