Q

visualizing and purifying

A
  • link with magnetic beads
  • incubate these with the samples
  • pour everything except the beads out of the tube

Q

slow down methylation –> mutation rate?

A

mutation rate increases as the mismatch repair machinery cannot tell which is parental strand or daughter strand since parental DNA is unmethylated

Q

why are eukaryotic mRNAs normally not polycistronic?

A

because eukaryotic translation initiates at the first AUG on the mRNA

18
Q

least likely to be a restriction enzyme recognition sequence

A

least diversity in ATGC

19
Q

stop codons

A

UAA; UAG; UGA

20
Q

which is responsible for genes to be transcribed in specific cell types?

21
Q

to make sure that the proteins migrate properly through the gel when an electric field is applied, how should the protein sample be treated before being loaded on the gel?

A

boil them in SDS

22
Q

urine in marine fish

A

small volume but more concentrated

23
Q

urine in land animals

A

small volume but high concentrated

24
Q

urine in freshwater fish

A

large volume but less concentrated

25
levels of estradiol and progesterone in the ovarian phase
estradiol high progesterone low
26
levels of estradiol and progesterone in the luteal phase
estradiol high progesterone high thickening of the endometrium
27
how to activate a B cell
1. must recognize the epitope 2. must interact by an activated T cells
28
leptin _ appetite
suppresses
29
ovarian cycle: hypothalamus stimulates what hormone
GnRH
30
ovarian cycle: anterior pituitary stimulates what hormones
FSH and LH
31
ovarian cycle: ovary stimulates what hormones
estrogen and progesterone
32
ovarian cycle: positive feedback
estrogen on day 12-14 (ovulation)
33
what are the key events in menstrual cycle
follicular phase/ ovulation/ luteal phase/ menstration
34
follicular phase
- follicle stimulates FSH and the growth of ovarian follicle - follicle stimulates estrogen which inhibits FSH for another follicle to be developed - estrogen promotes the thickening of endometrium
35
ovulation
- estrogen positive feedback - LH causes the follicle to rupture and release the egg
36
luteal phase
- ruptured follicle degenerate into corpus luteum - corpus luteum secretes high levels of progesterone and estrogen, thickening of endometrium (in preparation for pregnancy) - progesterone and estrogen inhibits FSH and LH
37
menstration
- if fertilization occurs, implantation happens in the endometrium - if fertilization does not occur, corpus luteum degenerates --> low levels of estrogen and progesterone --> menstrual blood --> prepare for another cycle
38
phases in mitosis
- prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase - cytokinesis
39
depleting oxygen for cellular respiration
stops ATP synthesis; NADH and FADH2 will accumulate
40
metabolism/ cellular respiration formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
