pre-transcriptional regulation

Question 1

pre-transcriptional regulation

Answer 1

controls the amount of mRNA and the synthesis of enzymes/proteins from them

Question 2

repression

Answer 2

inhibits gene expression

response to over abundance of the end product of metabolic pathway

mediated by regulatory proteins called repressors

Question 2

inductions

Answer 2

turns on transcription of a gene
mediated by regulatory proteins called inducers

Question 3

mutations

Answer 3

change in genetic material

Question 4

2 types of mutations

Answer 4

point shift mutations

frameshift mutations

Question 5

point shift mutations

Answer 5

base pair substitution

Question 6

different types of point shift mutations

Answer 6

silent, missense, and nonsense

Question 7

silent point shift mutation

Answer 7

mutation doesn’t affect protein at all

Question 8

missense point shift mutation

Answer 8

any genetic mutation that changes amino acid from one to another

Question 9

nonsense point shift mutation

Answer 9

any genetic mutation that leads to the RNA sequence becoming a stop codon

Question 10

frameshift mutation

Answer 10

insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotide pairs
