Q

what is a duplication

A

-type of large chromosomal rearrangements

Q

what is the difference in the mRNA of eukaryotes and prokaryotes

A

eukaryotes have pre-mRNA that needs to be transformed to go through translation

prokaryotes have their rna ready to go from transcription to translation

there are no transcriptionfactors in prokaryotes

Q

what is polygenic inheritance

A

traits that are conferred by multiple genes

26
Q

what is the SRY

A

the switch that directs development toward maleness at an early point in embryonic developpement

27
Q

the disease skips generations

A

probably recessive

28
Q

more men than women affected

A

probably x linked recessive

29
Q

more women that man affected

A

on autosome

30
Q

affected mother has an unaffected son in a recessive trait

A

rule out X linked

31
Q

when will an affected father always have affected daughter

A

x linked dom

32
Q

dna base pairs

A

adenine
thymine
guanine
cytosine

33
Q

rna base pairs

A

adenine
uracil
guanine
cytosine

34
Q

what is a codon

A

a section with three base pairs

35
Q

what does every protein start with

A

methionine

36
Q

what are the 3 stop codons

A

UAA
UAG
UGA

37
Q

what are chaperones

A

chaperones are protein complexes that fold the proteins

38
Q

what are the mRNA start codon

A

AUG

39
Q

what are the mRNA stop codons

A

UAA
UAG
UGA

40
Q

what’s the use of rRNA

A

rRNA form with proteins the ribosomes that translation happens in

41
Q

what’s the use of tRNA

A

tRNA is what brings the amino acids to their respective codons

it has on one side an amino acid and on the other the anticodon that pairs with the codon on the mRNA

42
Q

summarize transcription

A

1 initiation -transcription factors bind to the promoter on the TATA box and they recruit RNA polymerase.

2 elongation- dna is unwound and rna base pairs are added to the new mRNA strand in the 5’ to 3’ direction. behind the rna polymerase the DNA rewindsthe newly synthesized pre mRNA molecule is elongated by adding new bases to the RNA strand.

3 termination- the RNA polymerase is removed

43
Q

summarize translation

A

1 initiation- the ribosome scans the mRNA until it finds the start codon

2 elongation- tRNA brings the amino acid that is correct for the codon in the A site. The codon must fit the anticodon on the tRNA. each added amino acid start forming a polypeptide in the P site. The empty tRNA exists at the E site

44
Q

what are polysomes

A

They are a chain of ribosome so many ribosomes can translate a mRNA chain at the same time making it faster

45
Q

what is the transcription start codon

A

TAC

46
Q

what is an operon

A

A sequence of genes plus a promoter and an operator involved in the same metabolic pathway

unique to prokaryotes

47
Q

what is a catabolism reaction and which operon does it go with

A

It is the ensemble of reactions that lead to the degradation of molecules. Produces energy
Lac operon

48
Q

what is an anabolism reaction and which operon does it go with

A

It is the ensemble of reactions that lead to the construction of molecules. Consumes energy
Trp operon

49
Q

what is RNA polymerase I

A

a type of rna that transcribes DNA into rRNA

50
Q

what is RNA polymerase II

A

a type of rna that is an enzyme and transcribes protein coding genes

51
Q

what is RNA polymerase III

A

a type of rna that is an enzyme that transcribes DNA into tRNA and some parts of rRNA

52
Q

what happens in initiation of translation

A

the ribosomes scan the mRNA strand until it finds the start codon

53
Q

what happens in elongation of translation

A

the tRNA brings in the amino acid attached to it’s anti codon to match each codon of the mRNA. a polypeptide chain forms.

54
Q

lac operon induced or repressible and what type rxn

A

induced and catabolic

55
Q

trp operon induced or repressible and what type rxn

A

repressible and anabolic

56
Q

what happens to the lac operon when no lactose

A

the Lac repressor encoded by the LacI gene is active and binds to the operator so no transcription really occurs (basal level)

57
Q

what happens to the lac operon when lactose present

A

the lactose is converted to allocate which inactivates the repressor so it does not bind to the operator so transcription can occur

58
Q

what happens the trp operson when there is no trp

A

the repressor is inactive, so it is prevented from binding to the operator so transcription can happen

59
Q

what happens to the trp operon where trp is present

A

repressor gets activated by the tryptophan which allows him to bind to the operator blocking transcription

60
Q

what’s the difference between an snp and an lcr

A

an snp changes only one base pair of the chain whereas an lcr changes a whole part of chromosome

61
Q

what are activators

A

regulatory proteins that bind to the promoter proximal effects to stimulate or inhibit transcription
