Q

Why does immune system want to destroy cell after it is infected with the virus?

A

So it will not replicate and spread the virus to other cells through mitosis

17
Q

Chargoff’s rule

A

A=T + C=G =100% Bp

18
Q

Unit for sizing DNA fragments

A

Base pairs

19
Q

DNA charge

A

NEGATIVE

20
Q

Why does DNA have a negative charge?

A

Phosphates in backbone

21
Q

DNA replication

A

Copying DNA in the SPhase of interphase

Uncoil, unzip bases, replicate

22
Q

Single binding protein

A

Keeps bubbles open in DNA Replication

23
Q

Topoisomerase

A

Keeps DNA from tangling

24
Q

DNA polymerase 3

A

Builds new DNA strand by attaching nucleotides in 5’ to 3’ direction

25
Q

DNA Polymerase 1

A

Builds DNA by taking out RNA primer and fills with DNA

26
Q

RNA Primase

A

Lays of down RNA primer and tells DNA pol3 where go start synthesizing DNA

27
Q

Leading strand

A

Follows helicase

28
Q

Lagging strand

A

Does not follow helicase and creates Okazaki fragments

29
Q

Okazaki fragments

A

Fragments on lagging side

30
Q

DNA Ligase

A

Seals backbone and puts Okazaki fragments together

31
Q

What direction does DNA synthesis occur in?

A

5’ to 3’

32
Q

Telomere

A

End of DNA that shortens with age

33
Q

Telomerase

A

Add DNA to the end of lagging strand

34
Q

What kind of cells is telomerase found in?

A

Cancer and embryonic

35
Q

Transformation

A

Process of tranferring an inherited trait by DNA extraction
