Gene Regulation
This entire stretch of DNA codes for everything needed to make a product.
What is an operon?
This pair connects to guanine when replicating DNA.
What is cytosine?
Are all mutations harmful?
No
What does gel electrophoresis do?
Separates nucleic acids by size
This concept states that although cells in a multicellular organism have specialization, nearly all cells in an organism have the same genome.
What is differential gene expression?
This protein is responsible for unwinding double helix DNA
What is Helicase?
What does a haploid sperm fertilizing a diploid egg cause?
Triploidy
What process is used to find the order of nucleotides in a DNA sample?
DNA sequencing
This form of inheritance of traits transmitted by mechanisms don’t directly involve the nucleotide sequence.
What are epigenetic changes?
What causes a DNA fragment to be formed 5' to 3'?
Polarity
What is a mutagen?
An outside source that causes a mutation
What kind of genetic engineering is E. Coli that produces green fluorescent protein?
Bacterial transformation
This infectious particle is made up of genes packaged into a protein coat.
What is a virus?
This is responsible for linking Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand.
What is the DNA Ligase?
What is a mutation that has no effect on phenotype?
Silent Mutation
What genetic engineering is used in forensics?
Gel electrophoresis/polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
What kind of gene regulation uses the lac operon which is a genetic unit that produces the enzymes necessary for the digestion of lactose?
What is prokaryotic gene regulation?
The job of this RNA molecule is to carry a code to the ribosome in order to create a protein.
What is the mRna?
What kind of mutation causes a stop codon instead of the normal codon?
Nonsense Mutation
What form of genetic engineering creates copies of a gene?
