Define homologous chromosomes

Pair of matching chromosomes from each parent;

Translation of RNA to protein happens here
What is a Ribosome?
100

A mutation that does not change the sequence of amino acids and does not cause disease.

What is a silent mutation?

100

The enzyme that builds the mRNA from the DNA template

RNA polymerase

Define tetrad

A tetrad is a group of four chromatids formed during prophase I of meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis). Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids; therefore, a paired set of homologous chromosomes (one paternal, one maternal) creates a bundle of four,

Result of meiosis: 

4 haploid gametes

DNA is copied into a strand of RNA during this step of protein synthesis.
What is Transcription?
200
The type of mutation that occurs when one base is replaced by another.

Anticodons and amino acids are found on this molecule.
What is transfer RNA?
300

A mutation that results in a stop codon being in the wrong place.

Non-sense mutation

300

What does it mean for codons to be unambiguous

Each codon codes for only ONE amino acid.

Which meiosis division most closely resembles mitosis? 

Meiosis II

400
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?
400
The type of mutation that happens when a base is either deleted or inserted, causing a change in the reading of codons and amino acids.
What is a frameshift?
400

What does it mean that codons are redundant? 

Multiple codons will code for the same amino acid. 

400

2 types of post transcriptional modifications

splicing, siRNAs

500

List three types of large-scale chromosomal mutations

Deletion, insertion, translocation, inversion

500

The DNA template strand reads CCA. What would the anticodon read? 

CCA

The original strand of DNA is ACT TTG CGA The mutated strand of DNA is ACT TTC GA This is a _______________ mutation that causes a _________ of amino acids.

What is a deletion? What is a frameshift?

500

A disease that results in a change in the shape of hemoglobin in red blood cells due to a point mutation.

What is sickle cell anemia

Role of acetylation in gene regulation

adding acetyl groups, loosens chromatin enhancing rate of transcription
