Chapter 9 pt 1 Flashcards
what does the genome do
determine where the organism will live, what it can do, antibiotic resistance and pathogenesis etc
mitochondria DNA
circular chromosome
genome of cell
DNA
genome
sum total of genetic material of a cell (chromosomes +mitochondria/chloroplasts and or plasmids)
genome of virus
DNA or RNA
DNA complexed with protein
chromosomes
fundamental unit of heredity
gene
three types of genes
structural genes (code for proteins), genes that code for RNA, genes that control gene expression (regulatory genes)
smallest virus
4 to 5 genes
ecoli chromosome
4,288 genes
-1mm
-1,000 x longer than cell
human cell
46 chromosomes
-31,000 genes
-6ft long
-180,000 x longer than cell
what wraps around chromosome
naked DNA
basic unit of DNA
nucleotide
nucleotide parts
-5c deoxyribose
-phosphate group
-nitrogenous base (AGCT)
how does the nucleotide bond to make sugar phosphate backbone?
covalent bond
-each sugar= 2 phosphates (5 carbon and 3 carbon)
a and t
2 h bonds
g and c
3 h bonds
replication occurs?
on both strands simultaneously
