Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
What does CRISPR stand for?
Where the positives of conducting a study outweigh the negatives.
What is beneficence?
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
What are amino acids?
Creates a starting point for a polymerase enzyme
What is a primer?
What radiometric dating method is used to determine the age of an archaeological sample by measuring the decay of a specific isotope
What is carbon 14 (absolute dating)?
3-4 bases upstream from the PAM site
Where does Cas9 cleave the DNA?
What is consequence based
This is turned off when tryptophan concentration is high.
What is trp operon?
Cut DNA fragments
What is the function of a endonuclease?
This plant separates its Calvin cycle across night and day.
What is a CAM plant?
Present on all nucleated cells
What is MHC I
The Australian healthcare system is considering the best way to reach as many patients as possible.
What is justice?
The complete set of alleles present in a population
What is gene pool?
The uptake of a recombinant plasmid by a bacterium
What is bacterial transformation?
This will be very high when overcoming the effect of competitive inhibition on the rate of an enzyme reaction.
What is substrate concentration?
Type of immune cell engulfs and digests pathogens and debris in the body.
What is a phagocyte
Doctors and healthcare providers, each individual has a moral obligation to provide treatment to whoever is in need.
What is a duty/rule based approach?
The severe reduction in genetic diversity due to a catastrophic event that may change allele frequency.
What is the bottleneck effect?
What is technique is used to amplify small segments of DNA, making millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence in a short period of time?
What is PCR?
A biologist designed an experiment to test the different rates of plant growth for C3, C4 and CAM plants. In this experiment he watered each plant with 50 mL of distilled water a day. In this experiment the water amount is a what?
Controlled variable
What is the enzyme that catalyses carbon fixation in photosynthesis
What is RuBisco
Experimenters debrief participants after the experiment.
What is respect?
How many ATP molecules are made in glycolysis, the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain?
2, 2, 26 OR 28
This helps determine which bacteria have been transformed.
What is an antibiotic resistant gene (ampR) in a plasmid vector?
This is being used to increase the rate of photosynthesis in many plants by altering the shape of Rubisco with intent.
