Cancer Genetics
Mutations
100
The Grandfather of Genetics, who's work was entitled "Experiments in Plant Hybridization"
Who is Gregor Mendel?
100
The phase in mitosis when the chromosomes migrate to the middle of the cell and bind to microtubules.
What is Metaphase?
100
This technique is used to amplify a specific region of DNA.
What is PCR?
100
The second highest cause of death in the US.
What is cancer?
100
Relocation of genetic material from one chromosome to another.
What is translocation?
200
This symbol represents an affected male in a pedigree.
What is a dark square?
200
The enzyme that lays down an RNA primer for DNA replication.
What is Primase?
200
The molecule that prevents the LacI protein from binding.
What is allolactose (or just lactose)?
200
This protein helps to maintain cell stability by repairing DNA and triggering apoptosis of damaged cells.
What is p53?
200
Amplification of repetitive DNA due to a polymerase error.
What is replication slippage?
300
The scientists who discovered the structure of DNA by lying and stealing other peoples data.
What is Watson and Crick?
300
This complex made up of different histone molecules help to wrap DNA.
What is a histone octamer?
300
mRNA activity that prevents the transcription of functional Trp operon genes via ribosome stalling.
What is attenuation?
300
A (usually) null gene that can no longer aid in cellular repair, therefore it leads to an overall more cancerous phenotype.
What is a mutant tumor-suppressor gene?
300
An uneven number of chromosome, due to a loss of a homolog in gamete formation. Usually results in death.
What is monosomy?
400
When a diploid organism has only a single functional copy of a gene and the single functional copy does not produce enough of a gene product to bring about a wild-type condition, leading to an abnormal or diseased state
What is haploinsufficiency?
400
The name of the P site of the ribosome.
What is the peptidyl-tRNA site?
400
Dosage compensation mechanism in mammals.
What is X chromosome inactivation (Barr Body)?
400
Cellular receptor type that most dimerize to function. Involved in Ras activation and other growth factors.
What is receptor tyrosine kinase?
400
Crossbreading two closely related species for produce a third species with multiple chromosome sets.
What is an allopolyploid?
500
The name of Mark Wilson's dog.
Who is Love Nugget (or Pudin' Head, RIP)?
500
The three known RNA stop codons.
What is UAG, UAA, and UGA?
500
Field of study that looks at Chromatin modification and CpG island formations through generations
What is Epigenetics?
500
This bacteria is a known human pathogen that has been linked to stomach cancer. In 1982 Dr Barry Marshall swallowed the pathogen to confirm that it did in fact aid in stomach ulcer development (he was later awarded the Nobel Prize).
What is Helicobacter pylori?
500
This dutch botanist was the first person to suggest the theory of genes and mutation at a time before Mendel's work was unknown.
Who is Hugo de Vries?
