Mutations
This mutation does not change the amino acid produced.
What is Silent mutations?
What binds with the template strand and makes a new DNA strand.
What is DNA polymerase III?
The phase that separates the sister chromatids.
What is Anaphase II?
The direction that mRNA is read in translation
What is 5’ to 3’?
The point in which enzymes reach optimal temperatures.
What is 37C?
This mutation is the result of insertion or deletion of nucleotides not in the group of three.
What is Frameshift mutation?
Known as the Okazaki fragments, they are synthesised in short fragments.
What is a lagging strand?
The number of chromosomes a human has and the number it is paired with.
What are 46 chromosomes and 23 pairs?
Causes the DNA molecule to unwind and synthesizes RNA.
What is RNA polymerase?
The method in which a correct substance connects with the right enzyme.
What is a lock and key method?
The three levels Mutations can occur at.
What is Gene structure, Chromosomal structure and Chromosome number?
The three models of DNA replication are the most accepted.
1. The Dispersive Model
2. The Conservative Model
3. The Semi-conservative Model
What is The Semi-conservative Model?
The number of chromosomes in a gamete.
What is Haploid?
The RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
Each enzyme has a unique sequence of this that was determined by the genes. Giving it its shape and function.
What is Amino Acid.
The name for enviormental factors that can cause mutation, and one examples of them.
What is Mutagen, Examples: alcohol, drugs, UV light, certain viruses, and some chemicals.
The enzyme that steals and repairs by forming phosphodiester bonds.
What is DNA ligase?
Difference between Haploid and Diploid cells.
What is Haploid cells are sperm or egg cells, while diploid cells are any other cells.
The process that removes the noncoding region that was found in the DNA
What is splicing?
Enzymes lower this energy barrier to speed reactions.
What is activation energy?
The types of changes that affect the overall amount of genetic material within a chromosome.
What is Duplications, Deletions, Insertions, Inversions, and Translocations?
When helicase unwinds DNA, creating two single strands for replication.
What is a replication fork?
The process is in which two or more different genes are sorted into gametes that are independent from each other.
What is Independent Assortment?
The number and name of the stages of transcription
What is Three stages?
1. Initiation
2. Elongation
3. Termination
This bond is often weakened due to heat-induced denaturation
What is hydrogen bonds?
