Where does translation take place?
Ribosomes
What are the two types of frameshift mutations?
Insertion and Deletion
What are some differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic have membrane-bound organelles, prokaryotic have nucleoid and eukaryotic have nucleus, etc.
What happens when meiosis is interrupted?
Infertility, chromosome abnormalities in offspring
What are the steps of mitosis?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Which parts of the mRNA are expressed?
Exons
AUGCCT turns into ACGCCT. What type of mutation?
Point or Missense
How are plant cells different than animal cells?
Plant cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall
Are mutations arising from meiosis reflected in the organism?
No, but are transferred to offspring
Are mutations arising from mitosis transferred to offspring?
No
What happens if the central dogma is disrupted?
Proteins are not able to be successfully created, and the organism is not able to function properly
