Week 6 Flashcards
where is dna is eukaryotic cell
nucleus; mitochondria; chloroplasts
nucleus has
,mostly chromosomal dna; introns/exons; mostly linear
introns
dont help in coding (no amino acid is created)
exons
have coding (tell cells to make specific amino acid to create specific proteins)
mitochondria
mtdna; smaller than nuclear dna; less/no introns but has exons
chloroplast
chdna; circular; smaller than nuclear dna; less/no introns but has exons
where is dna is prokaryotic cells
nuclear dns in cytoplasm free flowing
- no mitochondria/no chloroplast
- extrachromosomal plasmid dnd (very small)
do oujr cells make rna: after then what
yes; then protein
the nucleus in _ cells contains nuclear dna
euk cells
nucleus is _ center of cell
control center
- contain dna (stores all info needed to buikd cell/direct the chem rxn required for life)
chromosomes
dna more condensed
chromatin
dna less coliled
the __ helps genetic infor flow from dna - rna - protein
central dogma
inital stages of geen expression?
transcription/translation
transcription
info in dna of gene is copied into rna
- in euk cells = nucleus
- PRODUCES MRNA W/ NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE COMPLEMENTARY TO ONE OF THE DNA STRANDS
translation
mrna nucleotide sequence is decoed/info is converted to the sequence of amino acids in proteins
- in euk cells = cytoplasm (at ribosomes)
- PRODUCES PROTEIN W/ AMINO SEQUENCE DETERMIEND BY NUCLEOTIDE SEUENCE OF MRNA
dna is a what helix
double helix
- reduces length of dna so it can be arranged in nucleus
hsitones are
postive
- help dna coil
phosphates are
negative
- give dna neg charge (-ve)
humans have _ paris of chromosomes
23 pairs
nucleic acids
polymers of nucleotides
- formed by dehydration synthesis
– dna replication
dna replication
meeds large complex protein enzyme
- instructiosna re coded in dna itself
nucleotide parts
5-carb sugar, 1/more phosphate groups, nitrogenous base w/ single/double ring
single rings (pyrimidines)
thymine, uracil, cytosine (TUC)
double rings (purils)
adenine, guanine (AG)
a deoxy-ribose nucleotide has __
deoxyribose, monophosphate, and nitrogenous base
- fomred by dehydration synthesis
in deh synthesis
oxygen in phosphate group of 1 nucleotide is covalently bonded to the sugar of another
- water is product
- creates neds biomolecules
