Molecular genetics Flashcards
1
Q
Introns
A
- nucleotide sequence
- includes both DNA template and RNA transcript
- does NOT code for protein
- cut OUT during RNA splicing
2
Q
Exons
A
- nucleotide sequence
- includes both DAN template and RNA transcript
- DOES code for protein
- LEFT in the mRNA after RNA splicing
3
Q
Alternative splicing
A
Splicing out different introns (or exons) in order to produce different variants of an mRNA that will code for a different protein variant.
4
Q
Law of Segregation
A
Two alleles for a particular trait will separate into the gametes
5
Q
Law of Independent Assortment
A
Diffrent traits are located on different cromosomes and inherit independently
