100
Regulatory protein that increases the rate of transcription when it binds to a promoter or enhancer.
What is an activator
100
Part of an operon; a DNA binding site for a repressor.
What is an operator
100
Process by which a complex body forms from local processes during embryonic development.
What is pattern formation
100
Type of enzyme that cuts specific nucleotide sequences in DNA.
What is a restriction enzyme
100
Disease that occurs when the uncontrolled growth of body cells that can invade other tissues physically and metabolically disrupts normal functin
What is Cancer
200
Binding site in DNA for proteins that enhance the rate of transcription.
What is the enhancer
200
Group of genes together with a promoter-operator DNA sequence that controls their transcription.
What is an operon.
200
A DNA molecule that can accept foreign DNA and get replicated inside a host cell.
What is a cloning vector
200
Method of determining the order of nucleotides in DNA.
What is DNA sequencing
200
The process by which cells become specialized.
What is Differentiation
300
Regulatory protein that blocks transcription
What is a repressor.
300
Refers to heritable changes in gene expression that are not the result of changes in DNA sequence.
What is epigenetic
300
Set of procedures that uses living cells to make many identical copies of a DNA fragment.
What is DNA cloning
300
Technique that separates DNA fragments by size.
What is electrophoresis
300
A type of master gene; its expression controls formulation of specific body parts during development.
What is the homeotic gene
400
Regulatory protein that influences transcription; e.g. an activator or repressor.
What is a transcription factor
400
One-base DNA sequence variation carried by a measurable percentage of a population.
What is single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
400
Enzyme that uses mRNA as a template to make a strand of cDNA.
What is reverse transcriptase
400
Identifying an individual by analyzing the unique parts of his/her DNA.
What is DNA profiling
400
Experiment in which a gene is deliberately inactivated in a living organism.
What is a knockout
500
Carbohydrates are proteins. True or False.
What is false
500
DNA synthesized from an RNA template by the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
What is cDNA
500
Method that rapidly generates many copies of a specific section of DNA.
What is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
500
Base-pairing between DNA or RNA from different sources.
What is nucleic acid hybridization
500
Gene encoding product that affects the expression of many other genes.
What is master gene
