What is introns?

100
The lac operon encodes genes for ______________ whereas the trp operon encodes genes for ________________.
What is catabolism/anabolism.
100

These mutations are made possible by the degeneracy of the code.

What are silent mutations

100
Mendel chose to work with these model organisms.
What is the garden pea plant, or pisum sativum?
100

Composed entirely of protein

What is a prion?

200
Removal of introns.
What is splicing?
200
Are operons for catabolism inducible or repressible?
Inducible
200

Distinguish between spontaneous mutations and induced mutations.

Spontaneous are due to abnormalities in the biological processes. Induced are caused by environmental agents

200
Variant that is masked by the dominant trait?
What is the recessive trait?
200

Small, circular pieces of DNA that exist independently of the bacterial chromosome

What is a plasmid?

300
Name the three post-transcriptional modifications in eukaryotes.
Splicing, Capping, and Tailing
300
Name two benefits of gene regulation.
Saves energy and time
300

Portion of the DNA strand containing an abnormal nucleotide is removed and replaced

What is nucleotide excision repair?

300

Two copies of a gene segregate from each other during the transmission from parent to offspring.

What is Mendel's Law of Segregation?

300

genetic elements that replicate independently but occasionally integrate into host DNA

What is episomes?

400
What's the point of the polyA tail?
Increase stability and lifespan in cytosol.
400
The small effector molecule of CAP is what?
cAMP
400

Distinguish between invasive and metastatic

Invasive can invade healthy tissues. Metastatic can migrate to other parts of the body

400
Heterozygotes show an intermediate phenotype.
What is incomplete dominance?
400

When the virsuses go into a cell and do synthesis, assembly, and release

What is the lytic cycle?

500
More than one codon can specify the same amino acid.
What is degenerate code?
500
When lactose and glucose are high, is the lac operon on or off?
Off
500

Distinguish between mutations in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes

Proto-oncogenes, when mutated become oncogenes. These keep a cell in a permanent "ON" position (like a green light always being green). Tumor suppressor genes, when mutated, don't tell cells to stop when they're mutated anymore (like a red light not working and never actually turning red).

500
Random alignment of chromosome pairs during meiosis I explains which of Mendel's laws?
Law of Independent Assortment
500

Name the 6 general steps of the viral reproductive cycle.

Attachment, Entry, Integration, Synthesis of Viral Components, Viral Assembly, Release
