A

21
Q

the p53 gene __ the cell cycle

A

inhibits

22
Q

Meiosis of one diploid cell results in the production of

A

4 haploid cells

23
Q

enzyme and its function: DNA polymerase 3

A

proofread DNA base pairs

24
Q

enzyme and its function: DNA ligase

A

synthesize Okazaki fragments

25
Q

enzyme and its function: DNA helicase

A

unwind DNA

26
Q

the mutation resulting in a change of one base pair of DNA so that a codon now codes for a different amino acid, its an example of

A

missense mutation

27
Q

What are the 2 types of energy

A

Potential & kinetic

28
Q

What is the relationship between strength of a covalent bond and the amount of chemical energy it contains?

A

The stronger the covalent bond, the less chemical energy it contains. The weaker the covalent bond, the more chemical energy it contains.

29
Q

How does increasing the temperature affect the change in free energy (ΔG) of a chemical reaction?

A

Increasing the temperature increases the value of T∆S, which decreases ∆G, since ∆G = ∆H – T∆S. As a result, an increase in temperature makes it more likely that a reaction will proceed without a net input of energy.

30
Q

How can the hydrolysis of ATP drive non-spontaneous reactions in a cell?

A

The hydrolysis of ATP releases energy. This energy can be used to drive nonspontaneous reactions in a cell if the total ΔG for the entire pathway is negative

30
Q

What are three characteristics of enzymes

A

Enzymes reduce the activation energy of a chemical reaction, are catalysts, and are highly specific.

31
Q

How does protein folding allow for enzyme specificity?

A

An enzyme will only act on those substrates that bind to its active site. Meaning an enzyme has to fold into its correct shape for the active site to be the right shape to bind its substrate.

32
Q

What do enzymes change

A

Enzymes increase the reaction rate and decrease the activation energy.

33
Q

How are the overall reactions for photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar and how are they different?

A

In photosynthesis, energy from sunlight is captured in chemical forms. In cellular respiration, carbohydrates are oxidized to CO2, releasing energy that is ultimately used to synthesize ATP.

34
Q

What are the major inputs of the Calvin cycle?

A

CO2 (from the atmosphere) and ATP and NADPH (from the photosynthetic electron transport chain

35
Q

What are the major outputs of the Calvin cycle?

A

ADP, NADP+, and carbohydrates (triose phosphates).

36
Q

What are the four major stages of cellular respiration?

A

Glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation, Citric acid cycle, and Oxidative phosphorylation

37
Q

What are the two different ways in which ATP is generated in cellular respiration?

A

substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation

38
Q

What is the overall chemical equation for glycolysis?

A

Glucose + 2NAD + 2ADP + 2Pi → 2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2H2O

39
Q

How is a proton gradient used to generate ATP?

A

The protons accumulated in the intermembrane space cannot passively diffuse across the membrane, so they diffuse through a transport channel called ATP synthase.

40
Q

How is cell division similar in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells 1

A

one parent cell gives rise to two daughter cells, and the two daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and the parent cell, except for rare mutations

41
Q

How is cell division different in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells

A

(1) The size and shape of the genetic material; bacteria have a single circular chromosome, whereas eukaryotic cells have one or more linear chromosomes. (2) The DNA of prokaryotes is attached to the plasma membrane, allowing separation of DNA into the daughter cells by cell growth. In eukaryotic cells, the chromosomes are not attached to the cell or nuclear membrane.

42
Q

What do you predict would be the consequence of a mutation in FtsZ that disrupts the function of the protein it encodes?

A

A mutation that disrupts the function of the FtsZ protein will block cell division

43
Q

What are three situations in which mitotic cell division occurs?

A

in the development of multicellular organisms, maintenance and repair of organs and tissues, and asexual reproduction of unicellular eukaryotes

44
Q

What are the five stages of mitosis?

A

Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

45
Q

What are two ways in which the function of p53 can be disrupted?

A

by a mutation in the p53 gene or by an inhibitor and cancer, can inhibit the function of the p53 protein

46
Q

What is the purpose of a testcross

A

to identify the genotype of an individual with the dominant phenotype.
