Q

Why does Mitosis happen?

A

Growth, repair, asexual reproduction. Cells become too big and the volume too where the cells need to divide

Q

How many times can a cell divide?

A

Till its no longer able to divide, which results to a programmed cell death called apoptosis

25
Where does crossing over occur?
chiasmata
26
Metaphase 1
tetrads align, orientation if homologous pairs to pole is random
27
Anaphase 1
homologous chromosomes separate and move towards the poles, sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres
28
Telophase 1
Each pole now has haploid set of chromosomes, cytokinesis occurs and two haploid daughter are formed
29
Meisosis II
No interphase ll, similar to mitosis
30
Prophase II
Nucleus and nucleolus disappear, chromosomes condense, spindle forms
31
Metaphase II
chromosome line up at the equator
32
Anaphase II
sister chromatids separate
33
Telophase II
nuclei and nucleoli reform, spindle fibers disappear, Cytokinesis occurs and four haploid daughters are produced
34
Genome
the complete complement of an organism's DNA
35
heredity
the way of transferring genetic information to offspring
36
homologues
are two pieces of DNA within a diploid that carry the same genes that are both from a parental source
37
karyotype Down syndrome
trisomy 21
38
A,T,C,G
A=30.3 T=30.3 G=19.5 C=19.9
39
Chargaff's rule
A=T. G=C
40
Nucleotides are made up of
Phosphate group, 5 carbon sugar, nitrogenous base
41
Direction of DNA
5' to 3' 3' to 5'
42
Pyrimidines
Cytosine and Thymine
43
Purines
Guanine and Adenine
44
Guanine and Cytosine are stronger because?
They have three hydrogen bonds
45
Transcription
the flow of information from DNA to RNA
46
Translation
the flow of information from RNA to protein
47
Stop codons are
UGA, UAA, UAG
48
Start Condon
AUG
49
Transcription proceeds through
Initiation, Elongation and termination
50
initiation
RNA polymerase identifies where tow begin transcription
51
elongation
RNA nucleotides are added to the 3' end of the new RNA
52
Termination
RNA polymerase stops transcription when it encounters terminators in the DNA sequence
53
Messenger RNA
carries the information from DNA that encode proteins
54
Ribosomal RNA
is a structural component of the ribosome
55
Transfer RNA
carries amino acids to the ribosome for translation
56
Core polymerase
capable of RNA elongation but not initiation
57
Holoenzyme
composed of the core enzyme and the sigma factor which is needed for transcription initiation
58
APE site
where ribosomes has multiple tRNA binding sites
59
A site
binds the tRNA carrying the next amino acid
60
P site
binds the tRNA attached to the growing peptide chain
61
E-site
the tRNA that carried the last amino acid
62
Enzyme in DNA replication
-Helicase unwinds parental double helix -Binding proteins stabilize separate strands -Primase adds short primer to template strand -DNA polymerase binds nucleotides to form new strands -Ligase joins Okazaki fragments and sealed other nicks in sugar phosphate backbone
63
Activities at the Replication Fork
1.Helicase binds to origin and separates strands 2.Binding proteins keep strands apart 3.Primase makes a short stretch of RNA on the DNA template 4.DNA polymerase adds DNA nucleotides to the RNA primer 5.DNA polymerase proofreading activity checks and replaces incorrect 6.Continuous strand synthesis continues in a 5’ to 3’’ direction 7.Discontinuous synthesis produces Okazaki fragments on the 5’ to 3’ template 8.Enzymes remove RNA primers. Ligase seals sugar-phosphate backbone
