Unit 3
What is a Cell
The basic units of all living things.
What does DNA stand for
Deoxyribonucleic acid
What does mRNA do
it sends the genetic instructions from the nucleus to the ribosomes
How many chromosomes does a human have
46
Where does the mutation for Down syndrome occur
chromosome 17
What is the Mitochondria or what does it do
Double membrane-bound organelles that process glucose into ATP - they create USABLE ENERGY for the cell.
The Central Dogma sequence of molecular biology is
DNA to RNA to PROTEIN
What is the RNA counterpart of Thymine
Guanine
how many numbered chromosomes are there
22
In KSI's song In the thick of it what comes next:
Im in the thick of it everybody knows, they know me where it snows ___________________________
I skied in and they froze
What is a Portion of ER dotted with ribosomes called
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Who is the Father of Genetics
Gregor Mendel
Who discovered Ressesive and Dominant Genes
Gregor Mendel
What is a Diploid
When a cell contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Kid: "Your just mad because im pointing out the obvious" Teacher: "Bye" what came before this?
"Why don't you get up and teach them instead of handing them a friggin packet yo"
Who discovered the cell
Robert Hooke
What does the enzyme Polymerase do
Adds complementary strands of DNA
What is a frameshift mutation
An indel mutation which shifts the codon reading frame. Affects MANY amino acids.
What is a Centromere
a structure somewhere in the middle of chromosomes. Can be used to connect sister chromatids.
What does the guy from I knew this was happening have
Noonans Syndrome
proteins (usually embedded in the cell membrane) which responds to molecular signals, to prompt a response by the cell are called what
Receptor
what experiment sequentially removed ONE type of macromolecule from the Heat-Killed Smooth Bacteria.
Avery-Macleod-McCarty Experiment
What does it mean for something to be degenerate
When many amino acids can be created with different “codes”
How Many Chromosomes do a ringworm have
4
