What are the two eukaryotic ribosomal subunits and what is the ribosome size when they come together?
40S, 60S, and 80S
What is a common problem that restrictions may face causing them to be unable to cut DNA?
Methylations
What are the three common disaccharide sugars and their components?
Sucrose (glucose + fructose)
Lactose (glucose + galactose)
Maltose (glucose + glucose)
What enzyme is key in blue-white screening and what does it do?

In glycolysis, what is the rate-limiting step (numerical value), and what is this reaction's substrate, enzyme, and product?
Step 3, fructose-6-phosphate, phosphofructokinase, 1,6-bisphosphate.
What are self-splicing RNA's called?
Ribozymes
What chemical is used to synthesize peptide chains (specifically the peptide bond) to make the reaction energetically favourable?
