3. Termination
100
The region of DNA that tells the RNA polymerase to bind
What is a promoter
100
The stage of mitosis when the nuclear membranes form
What is telophase
100
The role of the reducing agent in a redox reaction
What is donating electrons
100
Amino acids are to proteins as ___ are to DNA
What are nucleotides
200
The length and term for what will be translated into 1 amino acid
What is a codon (3 nuc. long)
200
The 3 differences between pre-mRNA and mature mRNA
What is the removal of introns, the addition of a 5' cap, and the addition of the poly A tail
200
The phase in which a copy of DNA is made
What is interphase (S would also be accepted)
200
The reduced product
Zn + Cu2+ --> Zn2+ + Cu
What is Cu
200
The 5' end is to DNA as ___ is to proteins
What is the N-terminus
300
What are the sites in the large ribosome subunit and what happens in each of them?
E: Exit - the tRNA exits, in this site it has already lost its attached amino acid
P: Peptide - named for the peptide bond that forms when a tRNA is transferred to this site
A: Arrive - where tRNAs enter, carrying a new amino acid
300
What is the sequence of nucleotides in Strand B if strand A was the template strand?
DNA
Strand A: 5' _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3'
Strand B: 3'_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5'
RNA: 3' UUCGAGUAUCCG 5'
What is...

300
This phase of mitosis
What is prometaphase
300
What is the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent?
C6H8O6 + 2H+ + 2NO2- --> C6H6O6 + 2H2O + 2NO
RA:C6H8O6
OA:NO2-
300
What is the benefit of mutations? The cost?
Offers variability in a population and potential fitness increase to an individual, could cause fitness decrease to individual.
400
The furthest part of the "central dogma" that a cell would be able to reach and the effect if the small and large subunits of ribosome were unable to come together
What is mature mRNA and an inability to make proteins and have the large subunit bind
400
The effect if a cell had no or non-functioning spliceosomes
What would be non-functioning proteins due to lack of intron removal?
400
If the basket is a cell's nucleus and the fruit are chromosomes, what would the ploidy be? N?
Ploidy= 3 (3 copies of each fruit)
N= 2 (2 types of fruit, pears and apples)
400
