Test 2 Flashcards
Genome
All the cells dna
Chromatin
Loose state of dna bundles
Chromosome
tight bundles of dna used for replication
Diploid
2 sets
Haploid
1 set
Interphase
Normal cell function goes on at this time
Interphase g1
gather energy
interphase s
condense dna into chromosomes
Interphase S
Chromosomes replicate and make sister chromosomes joined at the centromere
Mitosis
One becomes two identical cells
Meiosis
Starts with diploid and creates two haploid cells the. splits again into 4
monosomy
Loss of a chromosome
trisomy
gain a chromosome
Helicase
The enzyme that unwinds and opens the dna helix
Dna polymerase
Adds the neucleotides
Dna ligase
Seals the Okazaki fragments together
Telomere
A dna non coding sequence in the ends. Acts as caps
Dna-protein steps
Dna-Mrna-protein
Promotor Sequence
It is upstream if the gene being transcribed, Gene region that allows transcription proteins to bind
TRna
Dna molecule that brings amino acids to the ribosome
Rna processing
Introns spliced out. Cap added to the 5’ side. poly-a tail added to the other side
Small subunit if ribosomes
Binds the mrna template
Large subunit of ribosome
Sequentially binds TRnas
