Q

Mitosis

A

Segregation and replication of the DNA in a Diploid cell.

A single nucleus gives rise to two nuclei that are geneticall identical to each other and to the parent nucleus. Accurate segregation of the eukaryotic cells multiple chromosomes into daughter nuclei.

Q

How does the Centrosomes determine the plane of cell division?

A

During S phase the centrosome doubles to form a pair of centrosomes. G2 to M transition, two centrosomes separate from one another moving to opposite ends of the nuclear envelope. Positions of the centrosomes determine the plane at which the cell will divide.

Q

What happens in prophase in mitosis?

A

1) chromatin fibers become coiled into chromosomes with each chromosome having two chromatids that join at a centromere.
2) the mitotic spindle, composed of microtubules and proteins form in the cytoplasm (serves as a structure to which the chromosomes attach and act as a framework)

3) the two pair of centrioles move away from one another and it serves as a mitotic center(poles of the cell)

Q

What happens in Anaphase in Mitosis?

A

The paired sister chromatids separate, and the new daughter chromosomes begin to move toward the poles. Separation occurs because on subunit of the cohesin protein holding the sister chromatids are hydrolyzed by an enzyme called protease but a specific variation of this enzyme called separase. After they separate the chromatids are called daughter chromosomes.

Q

What happens in Meiosis prophase 1:

A

The homologous chromosomes pair by adhearing along their lengths called synapsis. The chromosomes coil and compact, then these sister chromatids take on a X-shaped appearance called Chiasmata, This causes the chromatids to Crossover, which causes the transfer of genetic material. The final product is recominant chromatids.

104
Q

Meselson-Stahl experiment

A

They devised a simple way to prove the point that DNA is a semiconservative replication, they did density labeling. mixing two types of DNA one more dense than the other, once replicated the DNA was medium density meaning the new DNA had one strand from the dense strand and one strand from the less dense strand.

105
Q

What are the two steps in DNA replication?

A

The DNA double helix is unwound to separate the two template strands and make them available for new base pairing.

New nucleotides form complementary base pairs with template DNA, they are covalently linked together by phosphodiester bonds, forming a polymer whose base sequence is complementary to the bases in the template strand.

106
Q

Where are nucleotides added first?

A

They are added to the growing new strand to the 3’ end. Movement of addition is 5’ to 3’

107
Q

115
Q

Replication fork

A

Sit where DNA unwinds to expose the bases so that they can act as templates

116
Q

Leading strand

A

It is the new developed strand, it grows continuously at its 3’ end as the fork opens up. 5’ to 3’

117
Q

Lagging strand.

A

It is the other new strand and its oriented so that as the fork opens up, its exposed 3’ end gets farther and farther away from the fork, and an unreplicated gap is formed. Formes in the opposite direction from where the fork is moving.

118
Q

Okazaki fragments

A

It is the lagging strand. New stretches of DNA with gaps. It requires multiple primers after each gap. DNA polmerase 3 synthesizes an okanzaki fragment by adding nucleotides to one primer until it reaches the primer of the previous fragment. Then Dna polymerase 1 removes the old primer and replaces it with DNA. Leaving behind a tiny nick. The enzyme DNA ligase links the fragments making the lagging strand whole.

119

120
Q

What is the sequence of telopmers

A

121
Q

What are telomers for?

A

They repeat TTA GGG sequence so that they prevent the DNA repair system from recognizing the ends as breaks.

122
Q

How are Telomers replicated

A

It uses an enzyme called telomerase, and it catalyzes the addition of any lost telomerase contains an RNA sequence that acts as a template for the telomeric DNA repeat sequence.

123
Q

How many DNA repair mechanisms do cells have and what are they?

A

3, proofreading, mismatch repair, and excision repair

124
Q

What is proofreading mechanism?

A

DNA polymerases perform it and each time they introduce a new nucleotide in a growing DNA strand, it proofreads it and takes out the wrong nucleotide and tries again.

Central dogma

A

The premise that information flows from DNA to RNA to a polypeptide

140
Q

RNA

A

Ribonucleic acid, it is an informational polynucleotide that consists of one polynucleotide strand. Nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and curacil

141
Q

Messenger RNA

A

mRNA carries a copy of a gene sequence in DNA to the site of protein synthesis at the ribosome

142
Q

Transfer RNA

A

tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome for assembly into polypeptides

143
Q

Ribosomal RNA

A

rRNA catalyzes peptide bond formation and provides a structure framework for the ribosome.

144
Q

Codons

A

Three nucleotides in messenger RNA that direct the placement of a particular amino acid into a polypeptide chain

145
Q

Transcript

A

The mRNA copy of the gene

146
Q

Aniticodon

A

The three nucleotides in fransfer RNA that pair with complementary triplet( a codon) in messenger RNA

147
Q

The messenger hypothesis and the adapter hypothesis

A

A gene is transcribed to produce an mRNA molecule that is complementary to one of the DNA strands, then the tRNA molecules translate the sequence of codons in the mRNA into a sequence of linked amino acids, to form a polypeptide.

148
Q

Which components are needed for transcription

A

DNA template for complementary base pairing, one of the two strands of DNA
Appropriate nucleoside triphosphates (ATP,GTP,CTP, and UTP) to act as substrates
RNA polymerase enzyme

149
Q

What does transcription produce

A

mRNA,tRNA and rRNA

150
Q

What are the 3 steps in transcription

A

initiation, elongation, and termination

151
Q

Initiation in transcription

A

Transcription begins with this it requires a promoter( a DNA sequence to which RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription). The promoters tell RNA polymerase where to start transcription, and which strand of DNA to transcribe. Part of each promort is the initiation site where transcription begins.

152
Q

Elongation in transcription

A

Once RNA polymerase has bound to the promoter it begins elongation. RNA polymerase unwinds DNA, then RNA polymerase adds new nucleotides to the 3’ end of the growing strand. The new RNA elongates from the first base which forms its 5’ end to its 3’ end

153
Q

Termination in Transcription

A

It is the end of transcription

154
Q

Genetic code

A

Set of instuction, in the form of nucleotide triplets, that translate a linear sequence of nucleotides in mRNA into a linear sequence of amino acids in a protein

155
Q

Start codon

A

AUG the initation signal

156
Q

Stop codon

A

UAA, UAG, UGA termentation signals for translation. the polypeptide is realeased from the translation complex

157
Q

The DNA chart important fact which was is it read

A

It is read from the 5’ to the 3’

158
Q

Transcription and translation in prokaryotes

A

In the cytoplasm

159
Q

Transcription and translation in eukaryotes

A

Transcription in the nucleus, translation in the cytoplasm

160
Q

Introns

A

non coding base sequence

161
Q

Exons

A

Coding base sequence in eukaryotes

162
Q

Pre-mRNA

A

Primary transcript initial gene transcript before it is modified to produce functional mRNA

163
Q

Processing of pre-mRNA

A

Two steps in the pre mRNA take place in nucleus. A G-cap is added to the 5’ end, it facilitates the binding of mRNA to the ribosome for translation. Poly A tail added to the 3’ end of the pre-mRNA at the end of transcription, this acts as a signal for an enzyme to cut the pre mRNA immediately after this. Another enzyme adds adenic nucleotides to the 3’ end of the pre mRNA
