DNA/RNA
3 Characteristics of DNA
Double Stranded, double helix, anti-parallel, semi-conservative, ATCG
Process that occurs in nucleus that involves DNA making mRNA
Transcription
Something that causes a mutation
Mutagen
A growth on an organism detaches and becomes its own organism
Budding
Two nuclei have formed. Animal cells have a cleavage furrow
Telophase
Describes DNA's nature of being half old and half new
Semi-Conservative
What carries amino acids to the ribosome?
tRNA
ATCGGC
ATCCGGC
Insertion/Frameshift
Reproduction of bacterial cells
Binary Fission
Chromatin condense into chromosomes. Nucleus disappears
Prophase
ATCGGC....Replicate
TAGCCG
3 bases that code for a specific amino acid
Codon
TCAAGA
TGAAGA
Substitution/Point
1 parent, identical offspring
Asexual
Chromatids separate to opposite poles
Anaphase
Why must DNA convert to RNA?
DNA cannot leave nucleus
Process that involves mRNA being read to make proteins
Translation
Part of a chromosome is moved to another part
Translocation
I would want my cells to do this type of reproduction if I wanted them to be genetically different
Process that gives each new cell differentiation or variety in meiosis
Crossing over
DNA and RNA work together to make what?
Proteins
What happens if a mutation creates a stop amino acid early?
The protein will be shorter and may not function
Used to identify fathers and criminals by matching bands of DNA
Gel Electrophoresis
Somatic cells have 68. How many will be present after mitosis?
68
Before mitosis can occur, what 3 parts of the cell cycle must take place? (Hint:Interphase)
G1,S,G2
