Central Dogma
The three processes that make up the central dogma
What is replication, transcription, and translation?
The two types of operons
What are Inducible and Repressible operons?
an unintentional change in the Nucleotide sequence of the DNA
what is a mutation?
the method to determine a sequence of DNA
what is DNA Sequencing?
A unit of 3 bases in DNA and RNA
What is a codon?
The model/method of DNA Replication
What is the Semi-Conservative method?
Allows multiple to no gene products to be made from a single transcript
What is alternative splicing?
The mutation type that occurred if TGG turns into TGC
what is a point mutation?
What are plasmids?
Where viruses reproduce/make more of themselves
What is the inside of a host cell?
Where does RNA Polymerase attach to on the DNA?
The process by which cells can differentiate.
What is differential gene expression?
The chromosomes not separating properly during anaphase
What is non-disjunction?
A method of separating DNA based on the size and charge of fragments
What is gel electrophoresis
The simultaneous translation of a transcript as it is made
What is a polyribosome?
the process that causes DNA to become less tightly packed.
What is acetylation?
list the following mutations
Creates a stop codon
Altered all amino acids down stream
codon changes to a different codon that creates the same result
What are nonsense, extensive missense and silent mutations?
Cloning specific cells for medical purposes
What is Therapeutic Cloning?
Discontinuous 5' to 3' fragments of DNA
What are Okazaki Fragments?
the enzyme that relieves the tension during the process of unraveling DNA
What is topoisomerase?
the process by which miRNA prevents translation of mRNA
What is RNA interference?
an example of a -somy mutation
What is Down's Syndrome/Turner's Syndrome/Klinefelter's Syndrome?
The 3 stages of Polymerase Chain Reaction
