Mendelian Genetics
This type of cross looks at the parental alleles for two traits.
What is Dihybrid?
This enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases in DNA.
What is helicase?
This molecule catalyzes the process that makes mRNA.
This is the location in the cell where mRNA and amino acids on tRNAs communicate with each other.
What are ribosomes?
These cells have an unlimited capacity to divide into any tissue type.
These are examples of genotypes of the parents used in Mendel's monohybrid self-cross of his F1 generation of pea plants.
What is any allele denotation with one dominant allele and one recessive allele, for example, Tt X Tt?
This enzyme adds a short RNA primer to the 5’ end.
What is DNA primase?
This is the area of a DNA template that has a TATA box where transcription factor binds.
What is the promoter region?
Proteins are made up of polypeptides, which are in turn made up of ________.
What are amino acids?
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction?
This is the term used when breeding an organism of unknown genotype (usually expressing a dominant phenotype) with a homozygous recessive in order to determine the unknown genotype.
What is test cross?
This enzyme adds nucleotides to and, proofreads the newly synthesized leading and lagging strands of DNA.
What is DNA polymerase?
This strand is identical to the newly synthesized pre-mRNA strand, except that there is no uracil.
What is the DNA coding strand?
The information that is contained in a codon uses the following nitrogenous base pairs, that code for amino acids in a triplet code format.
What are adenine and uracil, guanine and cytosine?
What is reverse transcriptase?
These are BOTH the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of Mendel’s F2 generation of offspring possibilities.
What is the following: 1 homozygous dominant alleles to 2 Heterozygous alleles to 1 homozygous recessive alleles for the genotype ratio AND 3 Dominant traits to 1 Recessive trait for the phenotype chances?
The base pairing is not included in a DNA molecule.
What are adenine and uracil?
What is placing a methylated guanine cap at the 5’ end and placing a poly AAA tail on the 3’ end and splicing out introns?
This structure assists in bringing the right amino acid and matching up with the right codon using its anticodon area.
What are tRNAs?
This is the term for an animal that contains at least one foreign gene.
What is transgenic?
This is the concept (law) of taking a somatic cell and making it into haploid cells.
What is Mendel’s Law of Gene Segregation?
These are two characteristics of Okazaki fragments.
What are any two of the following: They are located on the newly synthesized lagging strand of DNA. DNA ligase is used more often on the lagging strand in order to remove RNA primers and to connect these newly synthesized fragments. They are complementary to the lagging template strand. They are short strands of DNA.
These are two facts that reveal how RNA Polymerase is different from DNA Polymerase.
What is the fact that RNA Polymerase doesn't require a primer to start making RNA and it uses ribonucleotides, instead of deoxyribonucleotides?
Name at least 4 components needed for DNA cloning.
What are dsDNA with gene of interest, restriction enzymes, a vector, such as a plasmid, DNA ligase, an organism that can make the copies for you, such as bacteria, growth media and antibiotics.
