Q

Describe Griffith’s experiment

A

-Experimented with streptococcus pneumoniae
-Used virulent S strain and nonvirulent R strain
-Mice injected w/ live S cells died
-Mice injected w live R cells lived
-Mice injected with heat-killed S cells lived
-Mice injected with killed S cells and live R cells lived
Conclusion: some molecule released from S cells transformed the R cells into their virulent form– “tranfroming principle” present

Q

Why is the RNA primer a problem for linear chromosome replication?

A

New DNA synthesis on the 3’ to 5’ template starts with a primer and is removed, but this leaves a region at the 5’ end after it leaves. DNA polymerase cannot add onto this region . THis creates a shortened chromosome

removes introns from pre-mrnas - takes place in a spliceosome, which is a complex formed between premrna and small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snrna bound to proteins)

98
Q

how does splicing happen?

A

snrnas bind to specific sequences at 5’ and 3’ ends defining juncitons and cleaves it to release mrna (the complex loops out the intron and brings exon ends close togenter, then cleavage occurs and intron loops in a lariat structure while exons join together

99

5-3

106
Q

what direction is polypeptide assembled in?

A

n terminal to c terminal

107
Q

tRNA structure

108
Q

how do codon and anticodon pair?

A

antiparallel manner

109
Q

wobble base pairing-

A

pairing between 3’ base of codon and 5’ base of anticodon is less stringent, so less accurate base pairing ; a trna can read more than one codon so fewer trnas can accommodate all codons
anticodon- g can pair with u or c in codon
u can bind with a or g
i can bind with a, u, or c

110
Q

where is peptidyl transferase activity formed

A

lsu of ribosome- alows peptide bond formatio between amino acids

A

entire structure of mrna and multiple ribosomes attached

119
Q

T or F: most proteins are inactive after translation

A

T- finished forms may include amino acid removal, addition of carb or lipids, or combination with other polypeptides
pepsin has inactive precursor called pepsinogen, acidity removes a segment of amino acids and converts the enzyme into active form- this protects other cells from being degraded

120
Q

where are proteins sorted?

A

cytosol (free ribosomes), endomembrane system, or other organelles (free ribosomes)

121
Q

base pair/point mutation

A

change of single base pair in genetic material

122
Q

A

sense codon changed to one coding for another amino acid (hemoglobin- glutamic acid to valine, leading to nonpolar beta sites that are stickly and form sickle cell shape)

123
Q

nonsense mutation

A

sense codon changed to stop codon

124
Q

silent mutation

A

no change in amino acid

125
Q

drame shift

A

insertion or deletion

126
Q

spontaneous mutations

A

suddenly occur naturally in cell- replication or chemical activity

127
Q

induced mutations

A

organism exposed to physical or chemical agent, occurs much more commonly. can replace a base in dna, alters a base, or damages a base (radiation and chemical mutagens)
UV light is nonionizing radiation, all forms of ionizing radiations can cause mutations. chemical mutagens are naturally ocurring and synthetic, - food, cosmetics, environment (benzpyrene becomes a mutagen after metabolism)

128
Q

sex-linked genes

A

genes on chromosomes that are different in males and females

129
Q

autosomes

A

genes on chromosomes other than sex chromosomes

130
Q

why is the female the homogametic sex?

A

she has only one type of gamete with respect to the sex chromosomes. the male has two (x or y) so sperm can either be x or y

131
Q

other sex chromosome arrangements

A

xx females, xo males in some insects
zz males, zw females in reptiles, birds, butterflies
bees and wasps: diploid is female, haploid is male
yeast has two sex types, a and alpha

132
Q

what does human sex determination depend on?

A

the y chromosome, which contains the SRY gene that switches development towards maleness (x chromosome is mainly nonsexual). this means that originally the reproductive organs are similar, then sry activates and stimulates testes formation. this degenerates the ovaries. in females, male structures degenerate

133
Q

T or F: a particular gene on the y chromosome is key to human sex determination . this means that genes for sex development are inherited in both males and females, but only certain genes are expressed due to regulation

A

T

134
Q

What features cause sex linkage?

A

alleles on x chromosome occur twice on females but only once on males, and alleles on y chromosomes are not present on females

135
Q

Morgan sex linkage experiment

A

Red eyes (dominant) female with white eye male produced all red eyed progeny (Females are XRXW and males are XRY)
when this generation reproduced, progeny were XRXR, XRY, XRXW, XWY so all red eyed females and 1/2 red, 1/2 white eyed females, indicating white-eye chromosome is on x (3/4 red, 1/4 white)

With white female and red male, 1/2 of F1 and F2 generations were red or white

136
Q

crisscross inheritance

A

x-linked allele from a parent of one sex to a child of opposite sex to grandchild of first sex

137
Q

x-linked inheritance

A

pattern of inheritance of a x-linked gene

138
Q

what is an indicator of x-linked inheritance of a recessive trait?

A

all male offspring have the mutant phenotype if their mother has the mutation

139
Q

queen victoria hemophilia

A

heterozygous for recessive hemophilia allele,

140
Q

how are the activities of x genes equalized in males and females?

A

x chromosome inactivation- folding and packing of chromatin of one of the x chromosomes into a condensed, inactive state called a barr body (visible as a mass of heterochromatin) occurs early in embryonic development. same x chromosome will be deactivated in all descendants of the cell

141
Q

how is an x chromsome inactivated?

A

xist- expressed by inactivated x, creating an rna that will not be translated, this rna coats the x chromosome and inactivates it

142
Q

what happens if two x chromosomes carry different alleles of a gene?

A

inactivation may produce recognizably different effects
in calico cats, o allele on x chromosome is for orange, and b gene on autosome is for black. if o on x chromosome is active, b gene is masked, but if o allele is inactive because its x chromosome is inactive, b gene will be expressed

anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (patchy sweat glands)

143
Q

deletion

A

broken segment lost from a chromosome (deletion of chromosome 5 is cri-du-chat)

144
Q

duplication

A

segment transferred from one chromosome and inserted into homolog so homolog has inserted fragment twice
can be beneficial since mutations have less efffect (may happen during crossing over)

145
Q

translocation

A

broken segment attached to different nonhomologous chromosome- common in cancer where philadelphia chromosome and causes uncontrolled cell growth

146
Q

inversion

A

broken segment reattaches to same chromosome but reversed

147
Q

nondisjunction in first meotic division

A

both chromosomes of one pair pulled to both sides, causing two gametes with extra and two gametes with not enough chromosomes

148
Q

nondisjunction in second division

A

one cell has 3 homologs, one has 1, other two are normal

149
Q

aneuploids

A

individual with extra or missing chromosomes

150
Q

down syndrome

A

nondisjunction in chromosome 21 (risk increases with age of mother)

151
Q

XO

A

turner syndrome- sterile, normal indelligence, underdeveloped

152
Q

XXY

A

klinefelter syndrome- male genitalia

153
Q

XXX

A

triple x syndrome- slight cognitive impairment

154
Q

XYY

A

normal but taller than average

155
Q

T or F: people with a Y chromosome are externally male even if a X chromosome is present

A

T

156
Q

Monoploid

A

one set of chromosomes

157
Q

autosomal recessive inheritance

A

phenylketonuria, sickle cell anemia, cystig fibrosis- autosomal recessive inheritance, homozygous for recessive allele show trait
Phenylketonuria- cannot convert phenylalanine to tyrosine, leadning to buildup causing mental retardation (cannot consume aspartame)
- most affected individuals have 2 noemal parents
may skip generations

158
Q

autosomal dominant

A

does not skip generations
at least one parent of affected child must be affected
achondroplasia (dwarfism)
progeria

159
Q

duchenne muscular dystrophy

A

x-linked recessive

160
Q

x-linked recessive

A

-more males than females, all sons of affected mother should be affected

161
Q

x-linked dominant

A

enamel hypoplasia, constitutional thrombopathy
more in females
males with x dominant pass it on to all daughters

162
Q

genetic counseling

A

counselors can predict likelihood of children with the disease

163
Q

prenatal diagnosis

A

amniotic fluid or cells tested (amniocentesis) or chorionic villus sampling

164
Q

where does mitochondria come from

A

mother (uniparental)

165
Q

cytoplasmic inheritance

A

inheritance follows that of genes in cytoplasmic organelles
