Misc.
100
Transcription occurs here
What is nucleus
100
mRNA attaches to this
What is small subunit of ribosome
100
ssshhhh; I may not effect the protein directly, but I can still be a potential hazard.
What is silent mutation
100
Physical or chemical agents that disrupt DNA
What are mutagens
100
Ribosomes are responsible for three stages during translation: initiation, elongation, and this
What is termination
200
Raw product of transcription
What is primary transcript (pre-mRNA)
200
Another name for polysomes; they can come in handy for a "quick fix."
What are polyribosomes
200
HOWNOWREDCOW ---> HOWNOWRADCOW
What is substitution (point, nonsense, or missense mutation will also work)
200
Base-pairs with a complementary codon
What is an anticodon
200
Prokaryotes can do these two things at the same time since they have no nuclear envelope.
What is transcription and translation
300
The sense strand proceeds in this direction, not the template.
What is 5' --> 3'
300
Attaches to the extended 3' end of tRNA
What is an amino acid
300
SHEATETHEFATFRY ---> SHEMATETHEFATFRY
What is insertion (Frameshift)
300
These are spliced together
What are exons
300
The polypeptide chain escapes through this
What is an exit tunnel
400
These three assemblies make up the transcription initiation complex in eukaryotic cells
What are transcription factors, RNA polymerase, and TATA box.
400
After the start codon (AUG) binds to the small subunit the large and small subunits are able to assemble because of this energy molecule.
What is GTP
400
Nonsense mutations can turn an amino acid into this
What is a stop codon
400
These hold the tRNA structure together
What are hydrogen bonds
400
This is what targets the SRP so that the ribosome can properly bind to the rough ER...if the protein is needed outside of the cell.
What is a signal peptide
500
Can explain why the same group of genes specifies whether a fruit fly is male or female.
What is alternative RNA splicing
500
Newly introduced tRNA molecules to the rRNA would only need to learn this three letter alphabet (in sequence) to perform their function.
What is A, P, E
500
The base-pair substitutions that occur here are of greatest concern.
What is the active site (of an enzyme)
500
A region of DNA that can be expressed to produce a final functional product that is either a polypeptide or an RNA molecule
What is a gene
500
An evolutionary advantage or disadvantage of having introns (two word answer)
What is exon shuffling
