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

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
DNA Polymerase 1
Builds DNA by taking out RNA primer and fills with DNA
26
RNA Primase
Lays of down RNA primer and tells DNA pol3 where go start synthesizing DNA
27
Leading strand
Follows helicase
28
Lagging strand
Does not follow helicase and creates Okazaki fragments
29
Okazaki fragments
Fragments on lagging side
30
DNA Ligase
Seals backbone and puts Okazaki fragments together
31
What direction does DNA synthesis occur in?
5' to 3'
32
Telomere
End of DNA that shortens with age
33
Telomerase
Add DNA to the end of lagging strand
34
What kind of cells is telomerase found in?
Cancer and embryonic
35
Transformation
Process of tranferring an inherited trait by DNA extraction
