The organelle with the functions of digestion, storage, waste disposal, water balance, cell growth and protection.
What a vacuole?
This nucleotide base pairs with thymine in DNA.
What is adenine?
The name for a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter.
What is an operon?
The technique involves the processes of denaturation, annealing and elongation.
What is the polymerase chain reaction?
The process involving the insertion, removal or replacement of DNA within the genome of a living organism.
Bound by a double membrane; the inner membrane has a series of folds containing enzymes for ATP synthesis.
What is a mitochondria?
This molecule contains uracil and is single-stranded.
What is RNA?
What is tryptophan?
The enzyme required to copy DNA, forming a complementary template strand.
What is polymerase?
What is bacteria?
Involves the synthesis of specific proteins from bound ribosomes.
A transcript of the specific DNA instruction, a temporary photocopy of the gene.
What is messenger RNA?
In the presence of tryptophan, the repressor protein binds to the operator.
When is the operon switched off?
The enzyme required to convert RNA into DNA.
What is reverse transcriptase?
The molecule that binds to the target sequence, prompting its excision by the Cas nuclease.
What is Guide RNA?
The distinguishing feature of this type of cell is its lack of a membrane-bound nucleus.
What is a prokaryote?
The molecule that carries amino acids to ribosomes.
What is transfer RNA?
In the absence of tryptophan, the repressor protein is dissociated from the operator.
When is the operon switched on?
This enzyme's optimum temperature is 75°C.
What is taq polymerase?
When changing some of the intended genes, cleavage can occur at unintended positions.
What is an off-target effect?
Membrane-enclosed sacs of hydrolytic enzymes, found only in animal cells.
What are lysosomes?
The process shown in the diagram.
What is translation?
The confusing alternate method of reducing the expression of the trp operon in prokaryotic cells.
What is attenuation?
The laboratory technique used to separate and isolate DNA based on their mass/size.
What is gel electrophoresis?
What is knock out?
