Q

Chains of amino acids are…

A

proteins

17
Q

Transcription

A

the process where mRNA is made from DNA

18
Q

Translation

A

process by which protein is built from the mRNA, occurs in the cytoplasm at a ribosome

19
Q

RNA traits

A

uses ribose, urical instead of thymine, single strand, can leave the nucleus

20
Q

RNA polymerase

A

used to build the strand of RNA in the nucleus

21
Q

tRNA is used to build an…

A

amino acid chain by delivering an amino acid to bind to the previous one (anti-codon, has a single attached amino acid)

22
Q

Operon consists of…

A

a promoter, operater, and structural genes

23
Q

Promoter

A

where RNA polymerase attaches signalling the start of the gene

24
Q

Operator

A

where a repressor binds, stopping the transcription of that gene

25
Q

Structural Genes

A

genes coding for the enzyme, transcribed as a unit

26
Q

TRYP Operon in E.Coli

A

exsists in the “ON” state, controls production of tryptophan

27
Q

LAC Operon in E.Coli

A

exsists in the “OFF” state, turns on when lactose is present

28
Q

Repressible Operon

A

is normally ON but can be turned off (TRYP OPERON)

29
Q

Inducible Operon

A

is normally OFF but can be turned on (LAC OPERON)

30
Q

Recombinant DNA Tech

A

DNA from different sources is combined (human DNA + bacterial DNA)

31
Q

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

A

creates millions of copies of a gene (or segment of DNA) using DNA polymerase

32
Q

Gene Amplification

A

DNA must be heated to separate strands
