It all starts here
But, you're not done
More splicing and processing
(not) lost in translation
It's not about conduct
100

Section of DNA chromatin wrapped around 8 histone proteins

nucleosome

100

This protein is needed to created an mRNA transcript

RNA polymerase

100
Portions of the pre-mRNA that are removed during processing
What are introns
100
The large machine that carries out translation
What is the ribosome
100
A group of three "letters" in RNA specifying an amino acid
What is a codon
200

Enzyme responsible fo relieving supercoiling tension upstream of replication fork

Gyrase/Topoisomerase

200

The ribosome reads the mRNA from the _' end to the _' end

5' to 3'

200
These sequences include the code for the protein and are found in the mature mRNA
What are Exons
200

Adapter molecules that read the mRNA and carry the amino acid.

What are tRNAs

200
UAG, UAA and UGA
What are stop codons
300

Why is continuous synthesis on both strand of DNA not possible?

DNA polymerase III can only add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' directions

300
The name for the region of DNA that regulates which genes are turned on
What is the promoter
300

Which organelle helps polypeptides finish folding and enable their final conformation?

Golgi body/apparatus/complex

300
Not a tail-less primate, but the three sites for a tRNA in the ribosome
What are the A, P and E sites.
300
The amino acid at the start of each new protein (at least before processing).
What is methionine
400

What sections of DNA are used for DNA profiling?

Tandem repeat sequences

400

Permanently supercoiled DNA not available for gene expression

heterochromatin

400

What is the benefit of alternative splicing to create different mature mRNAs

Multiple proteins can be produced by a single gene

400

Multiple ribosomes attached to a single mRNA

polysome

400

What type of bonds/interactions are responsible for holding tertiary and quaternary protein structures together

Hydrogen bonds

Ionic Bonds

Dissulfide bridges

Hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions

500

What are the steps of Sanger's Sequencing method

Fluorescent dye markers are attached to dideoxyribonucleic acids so that the base present when replication stops can be identified. From this the base on the parent strand is deduced.

DNA replication is carried out with dideoxyribonucleic acid mixed in with normal deoxyribonucleic acid.

A range of new strands of differing lengths are produced.

The length of strand and the terminal base are identified by sequencing machines

500

Process that inhibits transcription by bind the DNA more tightly to the histone making it less accessible

Acetylation

500

Complexes of proteins and small RNAs that carry out RNA splicing.

Spliceosome

500

Required in the termination of translation in order for the ribosome subunits to detach from the mRNA

Release factor

500

What is the study of epigenetics trying to assess?

What possible impacts can environmental or social factors have on humans
