From Gene to Protein
The overarching term for DNA --> RNA --> PROTEIN
What is Central Dogma?
A cluster of genes with a single promoter
What is an operon?
An inactive p53 gene will most likely result in
What is cancer?
This is the protective capsule found on the outside of a virus
What is a capsid?
This is the study of the whole set of genes and their interactions.
What is Genomics?
If a frameshift mutation from exposure to radiation caused a segment of RNA to change from AUC to UAG, what would happen to the protein during translation?
What is stop?
The three sites of this cell feature are A, P, and E
What is ribosome?
This was the first cloned mammal
Who is Dolly the Sheep?
What are lysogenic and lytic?
Comparing _______ __________ from different species reveal alot about the evolutionary history of life?
What are Genome Sequences?
The genetic code is "formatted" into triplets of these called codons
What are nucleotides?
The Lac repressor protein has a binding site for...
What is lactose?
This is a form of DNA that can be used transferred from one bacteria to another
What is plasmid?
This is the enzyme that assists HIV and allows it to replicate
What is Reverse Transcriptase?
The application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data
Where is the nucleus?
The four components of an operon
What are promoter, repressor, operator, structural genes?
In our bacterial transformation lab, what substance's presence switched on the GFP gene?
What is the sugar Arabinose?
The prevalence of a disease over a whole country or the worls
This uses cloning and sequencing of fragments of randomly cut DNA followed by assembly into a single continuous sequence. Today, it is widely used, though newer techniques are contributing to the faster pace and lowered cost of genome sequencing.
What is the Whole-Genome Shotgun approach?
This type of mutation is a change in one DNA base pair that could result in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene. This could cause detrimental effects.
What is a missense mutation?
Series of genes that controls development and differentiation in embryos
What are HOX genes?
Occurs during embryo development and to cells that are damaged beyond repair. Nutrients would then be absorbed and used by the organism in another way.
What is apoptosis?
Viruses trick the host into helping it perform these three processes
What are replication, transcription, and translation?
This project accomplished establishing databases and refined analytical software to make data available on the Internet. This has accelerated progress in DNA sequence analysis.
What is the Human Genome Project?
