Systems
100
The enzyme that opens the DNA helix
What is Helicase?
100
It is two of the same allele
What is Homozygous?
100
An example of a genetic deficiency that is determined by the dominant allele
What is Acondroplastic Dwarfism, Acromegaly, or Huntington's Chorea?
100
These organisms perform translation and transcription at the same dang time
What are prokaryotes?
100
This process shreds a genome to bits, sequences the shreds, and uses a computer to back it all up?
What is Genome Sequencing?
200
The direction that Elongation occurs in during Transcription
What is 5' --> 3' ?
200
It determines your phenotype
What is Genotype?
200
They go through the lysogenic cycle
What are temperate phages?
200
These clusters are only present in Prokaryotes and contribute to one metabolic pathway
What are operons?
200
These contain a highly conserved sequence and have been discovered in all animal lineages
What are homeotic genes?
300
They cuts the introns off of mRNA
What are spliceosomes?
300
It causes the 9:3:4 ratio in a punnet square
What is epistasis?
300
This virus uses Reverse transcriptase to infect its host
What is a Retrovirus?
300
This type of operon is used mainly for metabolic pathways that are usually ON
What is Repressible?
300
A gene family that includes sequences that are clustered together and occur multiple times in the genome
What are identical sequence families?
400
This codon codes for methionine, but also kicks things off during Translation
What is AUG?
400
This team of scientists determined DNA was the molecule of heredity, not protein
Who are Hershey and Chase?
400
This technique is used to separate DNA Fragments by size
What is Electrophoresis?
400
These unwind histones
What are Acetyl Groups?
400
These are substances that are present in the cytoplasm of the egg cell
What are cytoplasmic determinants?
500
This is the type of mutation that causes sickle-cell anemia
What is Substitution?
500
This female scientist made the discovery of Watson and Crick possible with her innovative techniques
Who was Rosalind Franklin?
500
This type of DNA is used to make copies of RNA molecules
What is cDNA?
500
This molecule tags unnecessary proteins to be degraded by proteasomes
What is Ubiquitin?
500
This is the job of positional information
What is establishing the body axes in a developing organism?
