RNA polymerase II

18
Q

What is also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and is found in viruses like HIV and the tips of telomeric regions of the DNA

A

Reverse transcriptase

19
Q

What kind of RNA is involved in gene regulation, for example silencing some of the genes to avoid expression?

20
Q

In the generative cell cycle, the diploid (2N) configuration is seen in all the following stages except:

G0
G1
G2

21
Q

During this stage of the generative cell cycle, the cell continues the synthesis of RNA and new proteins. However, at this point, the cell has a tetraploid (4N) configuration

22
Q

In the generative cell cycle, this is considered to be the temporary resting period. No cell division occurs at this point and it has diploid (2N) configuration

23
Q

Which cell is terminal in G0 phase?

Liver cells
Cells of myocardium
Cells of seminiferous tubules post-radiation
Microglia in the brain

A

Cells of myocardium

24
Q

The ___ is the portion of the chromosome to which proteins that will pull the sister chromatid apart attach

A

Kinetochore

25
Q

Cohesin breakdown happens during ___

26
Q

Actomyosin ring formation happens during ___

27
Q

The cell undergoing mitosis has a tetraploid (4N) chromosomal configuration in all these stages, except:

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

28
Q

At what stage of meiotic division does chromosome crossing over occur?

A

Prophase I

29
Q

Enumerate the chromosome configuration in the nuclear division in meiosis

A

Bivalent chromosomes&raquo_space; Sister chromatids&raquo_space; Haploid chromosomes

30
Q

In the pachytene stage, which create the genetic diversity?

A

Genetic recombination

31
Q

The formation in prophase I that causes greater diversity in offspring

32
Q

In human fetal oogenesis, all developing oocytes develop to this stage and are arrested in prophase I before birth. This is referred to as ___ and it lasts until meiosis is ___ to prepare oocyte for ovulation, which happens at puberty or even later

A

Dichtyotene
Resume

33
Q

Which of the following is a mitogen?

E2F
RbP
p14
p53

34
Q

Which of the following is a tumor suppressor gene?

MYC
p53
FGFR
MAPK

35
Q

If the ATM gene through the p53 protein cannot still repair massive double stranded breaks in the DNA, what processes will happen?

A

Bax gene triggers apoptosis
