DNA Flashcards
during RNA splicing what is removed
exons
the goal of the humangenone was to
indentify the sequence of base pairs
this type of DNA is an engineered combination of DNA from two different sources
recombinant DNA
point mutations involve changing one
nitrogen base
a term used to describe super coiled DNA
chromosome
free floating nucleotides can be added at each copy site at a rate of approxiametely
50m/s
an enzyme is a type of
protein
identify two structural differences about DNA and RNA
DNA contains deoxyribose sugar RNA contained a ribose sugar. DNA contains thymine base while RNA contains a uracil base
mutagens
- radiation
- chemicals ( smoking, vaping)
genetic engineering
- health benefits
- aesthetic appeal
describe the difference in a nonsense and a missense mutations
a missense mutations is when a mistake in the genetic code occurs and the product is different. a nonsense mutations is when a mistake occurs and it can mean nothing Is coded
how many primers are required on the leading strand during DNA replication
1
which enzyme is responsible for replacing RNA primers with appropriate DNA nucleotide
RNA [polymerase I
the type of DNA is an engineered combination of DNA and insertion
recombinant DNA
