Replication
What is the leading strand?
Do genes have a function?
A nucleotide triplet (ex. AUG)
Name something that could induce a mutation.
{open ended} Examples: carcinogens (benzene, asbestos, heavy metals, etc.), smoking, radiation, staying in the sun too long without sunscreen, etc.
What is my favorite color?
Purple
The DnaA/ORC protein binds to this part of the DNA to begin replication.
What is the oriC
This is the region where RNA polymerase binds and begins transcription.
What is the promoter region?
This is the name of the phenomenon that allows a protein to be coded by multiple different codons.
What is "wobble"
This is the rate of spontaneous mutations in DNA replication.
What is 1 in every 1 BILLION bases added?
Spell the word I say.
O-N-O-M-A-T-O-P-O-E-I-A
DNA replication is this type of process, wherein original template strands gain a brand new strand.
What is semiconservative replication?
Name the 4 types of RNA mentioned in class (partial points for each correct one listed). Bonus if you can include their function.
What are messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and micro RNA (miRNA).
This sequence helps align molecular machinery to the starting location and allows bacteria to be polycistronic.
What is a Shine-Dalgarno sequence?
This type of mutation can cause the ribosome to read the mRNA differently and is the most dramatic type of mutation.
What is a frameshift mutation?
This enzyme charges tRNA with their respective amino acid.
What is aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase?
What enzyme removes primers and replaces them in bacteria?
What is DNA polymerase I?
This type of termination involves the formation of a hairpin loop to pop the RNA off the template strand.
These proteins help other proteins to fold correctly.
What are molecular chaperones/chaperonins/heat-shock proteins?
This cause mutations by forming thymine dimers.
What is UV light?
Do today's Wordle in 5 minutes.
Hopefully you got it
This enzyme aids in replication termination in circular DNA.
What is topoisomerase II?
This subunit of core RNA polymerase is necessary for initiation and determination of what genes are targeted for transcription.
What is a sigma factor?
Signal peptides act as a zip code to direct the transport of finished proteins and are located at this end of the amino acid chain.
What is the N-terminus?
The following example shows this type of mutation:
Original: AUG UGG CCG UCC
Mutated: AUG UGA CCG UCC
What is a nonsense mutation?
How tall am I?
5'10"
