Genomes and Their Evolution Flashcards
Bioinformatics
combining Bio and computer shit bc of like DNA sequencing and other stuff to know like the diversity of life man
gene annotation
when you look at the DNA with all them little genies and ur like oh u do this and u do this and u interact with each other and are important bc of this and here bc this
proteome
collection of proteins in a cell
proteomics
the study of proteins and how they interact with one another and their purpose,place, etc.
systems biology
understanding the systems of the body and how they work together
polyploidy
condition where an organism has more than two full sets of chromosomes
where is polyploidy more common in plants or animals
plants
Alterations of Chromosome Structure
how diff chromosomes of diff species low-key be looking de same like de chimps be low-key looking like some of the hoomans when u combine the chip chromosomes
transposable elements aka
transposons
transposons
genes that either move out of where it is and moves somewhere else or copies and then the copy moves somewhere else
what do transposons make
can make new genes with the same or diff function as before
when do transposons work
randomly hop
what is the usual effect of transposons and the unusual effect
useless usually but sometimes results in mutations
if transposons are cut paste how does that work for
make RNA from the DNA and then turn that RNA into dNA in a different place
