Module 3 Gene Functions Flashcards
1
Q
- an enzyme that catalyzes certain chemical reactions in a metabolic pathway
- explains the relationship between genotype and phenotype
Beadle and Tatum experimented on red bread mold
A
Gene-Enzyme Relationship
2
Q
Each gene is responsible for directing the building of a single, specific enzyme.
A
One Gene- One enzyme Hypothesis
3
Q
levels of protein structure
A
primary secondary tertiary quaternary
4
Q
Colinear means having corresponding parts arranged in the same linear
order.
A
Collinearity of DNA and Proteins
5
Q
is the nucleotide base sequence on DNA which will
be translated into sequence of amino acids of a protein. Each amino acid
is represented by a triplet of bases, read in 5’ to 3’ direction
A
GENETIC CODE
6
Q
- It is a triplet code
- Nonoverlapping
- degenerate or redundant
- universal
- start and stop codons serves as signals
6.There is a wobble in the anticodon
A
Characteristics of the Genetic Code:
