Terminology Battle
Lets Get Tech-y
100
The enzyme that binds at a replication fork to begin breaking hydrogen bonds
What is DNA Helicase?
100
This term refers to an area that lies just ahead of a gene that can inhibit it's transcription if a repressor protein is present.
What is "operon"?
100
The enzyme that binds to the TATA box in eukaryotes to initiate transcription
What is RNA Polymerase?
100
The enzyme which cannot synthesize without an RNA primer vs. The enzyme which builds these primers.
What is DNA Polymerase vs. RNA Primase?
100
The process by which fragments of DNA can be separate by size through an agarose gel.
What is gel electrophoresis?
200
This term refers to the way in which complimentary strands of DNA are oriented
What is antiparallel?
200
The complimentary base sequence to mRNA which aligns the appropriate amino acid with it's corresponding codon.
What is an anticodon?
200
A cross-shaped RNA structure crucial in translation
What is tRNA?
200
The strand of DNA transcribed into mRNA vs. the complimentary DNA strand which is not transcribed.
What is template vs. coding?
200
A specific palindromic sequence in which a restriction enzyme will recognize and cut forming sticky or blunt ends.
What is a restriction site?
300
These molecules help to keep denatured DNA strands from re-annealing during DNA replication
What are single stranded binding proteins (SSBPs)?
300
The term used for the genetic code, as more than one tRNA can code for a single amino acid.
What is redundant?
300
A method of pre-mRNA post-transcription modification which protects and acts as a recognition site for ribosomes outside the nucleus.
What is the 5'-cap?
300
The strand of DNA synthesized continuously vs. the DNA strand which is built by Okasaki fragments
What is leading vs. lagging?
300
The process by which geneticists can add target sequences to bacterial genomes.
What is recombinant DNA?
400
This enzyme that acts as a proof-reader for newly synthesized DNA strands
What is DNA Polymerase II?
400
This refers to the idea that a substitution mutation in the last nucleotide of a codon may cause a silent mutation in the protein.
What is the "Wobble Hypothesis"?
400
The site on the ribosome in which polypeptide bonds are created between amino acids.
What is the P-site?
400
The direction in which DNA polymerase builds vs. the direction in which a ribosome builds.
What is 5' to 3' vs. 3' to 5'?
400
The prokaryotic enzyme used in PCR to synthesize new strands which can withstand the extremely high temperatures required by this process.
What is Taq Polymerase?
500
This term that refers to how one parent strand is annealed with a newly synthesized DNA strand
What is semiconservative replication?
500
The portions of DNA which are ultimately included in a synthesized protein.
What are exons?
500
A method of pre-mRNA post-transcription modification which allows for multiple proteins of the same family to be made from one mRNA sequence.
What is alternative splicing?
500
The small circular DNA chromosome found in prokaryotes used to make recombinant DNA vs. the recombinant DNA which includes a target sequence.
What is plasmid vs. vector?
500
The term for a bacterial cell which is able to take up a vector through transformation.
What is competent?
