Gene Therapy
It is the most common vector used in gene therapy
What are viruses?
This is the structure built by a ribosome
What is a polypeptide?
It is the enzyme used to add bases to the RNA strand
What is RNA Polymerase?
It is when genes travel together on the same chromosome such as red hair and freckle genes
What are linked genes?
It is the primary function of rRNA?
What is to build ribosomes?
It is steroidal non-viral vector used on gene therapy
What is a liposome?
It is the term for all folded polypeptides that form structures
What are functional proteins?
A protein found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes that let the RNA Polymerase know where to begin
What is a promoter protein?
It is a different form of the same gene
What is an allele?
Proteins that turn on and off the operator gene
What are repressor proteins?
They act as "biological scissors" to cut out the desired gene
What are restriction enzymes?
It is the functional protein found in nails, claws, and hooves
What is Keratin?
It is also known as the on/off switch of transcription in prokaryotes
What is an operator protein?
Genes are codes for making these macromolecules
What are proteins?
Any mutation that changes the amino acids in the chain
What are missense mutations?
It is a ring of code found in a bacterium that can be used also as a non-viral vector in gene therapy
What is a plasmid?
Hemoglobin is this type of protein structure
What is Quaternary Structure?
It is what plants and animals use instead of an operator gene to start transcription
What are transcription factors?
It is the point mutation that causes sickle cell in the hemoglobin gene
What is a substitution mutation?
A genetic disorder that degenerates muscle cells in young children
What is Duchene Muscular Dystrophy?
These enzymes repair broken DNA thus preventing a possible mutation
What are nucleases?
This protein found in muscle cells is an example of a Tertiary Structure protein
What is myoglobin?
It is the set of parts found in Prokaryotes that enable proper transcription of polypeptides
What is an operon?
It is caused by a nonsense mutation in the CFTR gene
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Parkinson's and Alzheimer patients have tangles of this type of protein found in brain cells
What are amyloid proteins?
