Proteins
Process of rewriting DNA into mRNA
What is transcription?
When a mistake is made during DNA replication it is referred to as this.
Process in eukaryotes in which one cell produces 2 new, identical cells
What is mitosis?
An ethical concern associated with using CRISPR
What is safey concerns, use of CRISPR on embryos, curing genetic diseases vs enhancements, cost and availability of such technology?
This is a family tree that shows how a certain trait movevs through generations
What is a pedigree?
Process of reading the mRNA to produce a chain of amino acids.
What is translation?
Made up of the alleles given by each parent and determines the phenotype of an organism
What is a genotype?
A process in which stem cells become specialized and take on specific roles within the organism.
What is differentiation?
Benefits of CRISPR over other gene editing technologies
What is cheap, precise, simple and easy to use?
Two parents with normal blood produce a child with sickle cell disease. This must be true of both parents' genotypes.
What is both parents are heterozygous or carriers?
Location in the cell where protein synthesis occurs.
What is the ribosome?
A process that produces gametes (haploid cells/half the # of chromosomes) in sexually reproducing organisms
What is meiosis?
Name 2 roles of mitosis in multicellular organisms
What is growth, repair and asexual reproduction?
The full name of the process known as CRISPR
Clustered, Regularly, Interspaced, Short, Palendromic, Repeats
The gene is used to produce mRNA and eventually determines the sequence of amino acids of a protein. If the amino acid sequence changes, the function of the protein can be altered greatly
This protein anchors the inner part of a muscle cell to the cell membrane and prevents damage from occuring during contraction and relaxation.
What is dystrophin?
Environmental factors that can causes mutations that are sometimes inheritable
What is radiation (X-ray or ultraviolet), exposure to chemicals in the environment, etc.?
A parent cell contains 30 chromosomes. The cell undergoes mitosis. This is the new number of chromosomes the cell contains.
What is 30 chromosomes?
The names of the 2 women who discovered CRISPR and invented a way to use it as a gene editing technology
The process of going from DNA to RNA to proteins is known as this
What is protein synthesis (or gene expression)?
Cells contain about 10,000 different proteins and can perform a lot of different functions, describe at least 2 specific functions of proteins
What is carry oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin), allow for salts/ions to move in and out of the cell, anchor the inner part of the muscle cell to the cell membrane, aid in digestion of food, allow for cellular respiration to occur, etc. ?
A skin cell of a newly identified species contains 40 chromosomes. This is the number of chromosomes found in the gamete of this species.
What is 20?
What is zygote?
CRISPR is a natural system that was first found in bacteria and served this purpose
What is immune system or system for detecting viruses, destroying them and remembering the DNA sequence of them for future use?
In order for a new trait to be inheritable, the mutation must occur here
What is in the zygote, embryo or sperm and egg cells?
