24
Q

Transcription

A

DNA is copied into a
complementary strand of mRNA.

25
DNA is copied into a complementary strand of mRNA.
Transcription
26
Translation
interpreting the RNA message into a polypeptide to make a protein
27
interpreting the RNA message into a polypeptide to make a protein
Translation
28
Codon
a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis
29
a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis
Codon
30
Amino Acid
monomer (building block) for making proteins, held together by peptide bonds
31
monomer (building block) for making proteins, held together by peptide bonds
Amino Acid
32
Chromosome
A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell. A chromosome is made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes
33
A structure found inside the nucleus of a cell made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes
Chromosome
34
Gene
Piece/section of DNA that holds the instructions to making protein
35
Piece/section of DNA that holds the instructions to making protein
Gene
36
Where, why, and how does transcription takes place?
starts with DNA in the nucleus, a gene is unzipped to be copied, the RNA nucleotides bind with their corresponding DNA ones then the mRNA leaves and goes to the cytoplasm
37
Where, why, and how does translation takes place?
mRNA attaches to a ribosome. and the ribosome reads the mRNA codons, starting at AUG. tRNAs act like taxis to pick up and drop off the amino acids that match with each codon. tRNAs continue to drop off a.a., and the ribosome binds the a.a. together with peptide bonds. When the “stop codon” is reached, the ribosome releases the completed polypeptide chain.
38
Diploid
cells with 2 full sets of chromosomes, a set from each parent, human somatic cells
39
cells with 2 full sets of chromosomes, a set from each parent, human somatic cells
Diploid
40
Haploid
cells with 1 full set of chromosomes, which is a combination from the parents
41
cells with 1 full set of chromosomes, which is a combination from the parents ex. gametes
Haploid
42

46
Homologous chromosomes
chromosome pairs that have the same types of genes, one from each parent
47
chromosome pairs that have the same types of genes, one from each parent
Homologous chromosomes
48
Crossing over
Creates new combinations of genes. during prophase 1, homologus chromosomes are lined up together and get "tangled" they swap pieces of DNA.
49
during prophase 1, homologus chromosomes are lined up together and get "tangled" they swap pieces of DNA. This is called...
Crossing over
50
What happens in each phase of meiosis?
I P: nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibers form M: Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell in pairs A: Homologous chromosome pairs separate and get pulled to opposite sides (remain attached for meiosis 1) T: Chromosomes gather at the poles and nuclear membranes reform C: cytoplasm divides into two cells
51
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis: growth and repair, asexual, all through life, all through body, PMAT once, creation of diploid somatic cells Meiosis: purpose is to make babies, sexual, in ovaries and testes, PMAT twice, creates haploid sex cells
52
Does interphase occur before mitosis, meiosis, or both?
Both
53
How do the cells produced in meiosis relate to the original cell?
They are different, there is four and they're haploid
54
What are the two types of nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA
55
What is the monomer of nucleic acids?
nucleotides
56
What is the structure of DNA?
Double Helix
57
What is the structure of RNA?
Single strand of nucleotides with exposed nitrogen bases
