39
Q

Everything that occurs in the cell are based on?

A

The arrangement of how the bases in the DNA are placed.

40
Q

How does DNA exist in the nucleus?

A

in the form of chromatin.

41
Q

What does chromatin contain?

Most of the time DNA and proteins

42
Q

Within each strand of chromatin how many molecules are there.

A

1

43
Q

A

DNA and genes.

45
Q

How many chromosome are in all of your cells?

A

46

46
Q

Are all of your chromosomes read?

A

No. Only some are read to produce specific proteins.

47
Q

How is a cell specialized to carry out a specific function?

A

By only “reading” certain proteins which carry out a specific tasks.

48
Q

What are enzymes?

A

Proteins that speed up chemical reactions?

49
Q

What is an example of a enzyme?

A

Digestive enzymes help break down food

50
Q

What type of protein are hormones?

A

Chemical messengers

51
Q

Name step one of production of a protein?

A

The nucleus receives a chemical signal to make a specific protein.

52
Q

Second step?

A

The DNA message for a specific protein and it is copied into a small molecule called ribonucleic acid or RNA

53
Q

Step three?

A

RNA leaves through a nuclear pore

54
Q

Step four?

A

RNA message is delivered to the ribosomes. The ribosomes make the protein.

55
Q

Step 5?

A

The manufactured protein enters the ER.

56
Q

Step 6?

A

A vesicles forms off of the ER and carries the protein to the Golgi body

57
Q

Step 7?

A

The Golgi body repacks the protein for transport out of the cell.

58
Q

Step 8?

A

Another crackle forms off of the Golgi body to carry it the cell membrane.

59
Q

Step 9?

A

The vesicles attaches to the cell membrane and it’s proteins contents are real des out of the cell.

60
Q

Gene mutation?

A

A change in the specific order of the ATCG pattern that make up a particular gene.

61
Q

Gene therapy

A

Technique developed to alter mutated genes in order to make them function normally.

62
Q

Positive mutation

A

A mutation that be fits the organism and increases it’s chance of survival.

63
Q

Negative mutation

A

A mutation that harms an organism or reduces the chance of reproducing or survival.

64
Q

Neutral mutation

A

Does not affect the organism or does not increase of decrease the survival rate

65
Q

Mutagens

A

Substance of factors that can cause mutation in DNA

66
Q

What is the function of the cell membrane?

A

To allow only certain things to enter the cell

The nine steps

77
Q

What is the RNA?

A

A small molecule that DNA is copied into to.

78
Q

How is the message carried from the nucleus to the ribosomes?

A

The message is copied into the RNA and it leaves through a nuclear pore.

79
Q

What happens to the protein after it leaves the cell?

They will leave to go carry out tasks such as creating tissues

80
Q

Explain the function of genes in the cell?

A

Genes the information to creat thousands of different proteins. 90000-100000

81
Q

how is information from the DNA transported put of the nucleus?

A

Through and with nuclear pores and RNA

82
Q

Where are ribosomes manufactured?

A

Nulcealos

83
Q

What happens if a required cell cannot be created in an organism?

A

It will have a mutation

84
Q

What’s one form of gene therapy.

A

To replace the mutated gene or faulty gene with a new healthy copy

85
Q

How do viruses cause mutation?

A

They disrupt the instructions stored in the genes. The instructions are miss read or copied.

86
Q

ATCCG to ACCG is what mutation?

A

Deletion

87
Q

ATCCG to ATTCG is what mutation?

A

Substation?

88
Q

AATTCG to AATTCCG is what?

A

Addition

89
Q

What are three different affects a mutation can have?

A

Neutral, positive, and negative

90
Q

Give an example of a positive mutation?

A

Dele copping a protein that fights HIV

91
Q

Why is a spirt bear white fur coat a neutral mutation?

A

Because it does not affect the survival rate of the animal

92
Q

What is the propose of gene therapy?

A

To replace the mutated genes with health ones

93
Q

An “arrow” must go inside the body and find the mutated genes. The “arrow” used is often an intact virus which carries the healthy gene to the diseases cells.

A

The healthy gene will only be used if the doctors can shoot the “arrow” the intact virus into the nuclei of millions of target cells. Then the patients cells must activate the healthy genes so the patients can produce the healthy proteins.

94
Q

To switch on the gene, the healthy gene must attach to what

A

The chromosomes

95
Q

In order to make proteins the new “healthy gene” that was brought in by gene therapy must be….

A

Read by the cell

96
Q

The healthy gene must make……..

A

The right among of proteins
