Macromolecules
The name of this functional group: –OH
What is hydroxyl group?
This type of protein can decrease the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur.
What is an enzyme?
The chromosome number that all cells must be in for meiosis to occur.
What is diploid (2n)?
The idea that maternal and paternal chromosomes will separate during sexual reproduction.
What is the Law of Segregation?
The enzyme involved in creating the last bond between two Okazaki fragments.
What is ligase?
The type of bond that connects two nucleotides together.
What is a phosphodiester bond?
The difference of energy between the products and reactants of a reaction.
What is the delta G?
The phase where DNA replication, histone synthesis, and centriole duplication occurs.
What is S phase?
The idea that each chromosome separates to one or the other daughter cell irrespective of the other chromosomes.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
The sequence of mRNA when transcribed from the following gene (the top strand is the template).
5' GGACTTCA 3'
3' CCTGAAGT 5'
What is 5' UGAAGUCC 3'?
The name of the reaction that leads to the breaking down of polymers into monomers.
What is hydrolysis?
The step of aerobic respiration that uses oxygen.
What is the electron transport chain?
The half of meiosis that involves the separation of sister chromatids.
What is Meiosis II?
This probability rule is used when there is an either/or situation, such as the probability that the dice will land on either a 3 or 4 when rolled.
What is the addition rule?
The strand of newly synthesized DNA that is being replicated in the direction of the replication fork.
The type of macromolecule that stores energy and is often found in plastids in plants.
What are starches?
The overall purpose of the electron transport chain between Photosystem II and I in photosynthesis.
What is synthesizing ATP (establish an electrochemical gradient is also acceptable)?
The half of Meiosis where independent assortment takes place.
What is Meiosis I?
The probability of having a recessive trait in the progeny when two heterozygotes are crossed.
What is 1/4?
The site in the ribosome where the tRNA that is bound to the growing polypeptide strand sits.
What is the P site?
The type of macromolecule that has an orientation of N-terminus to C-terminus.
What is a protein?
The energy released by the high-energy electrons donated to the electron transport chain is used to establish this.
What is the electrochemical gradient?
The type of protein that varies in concentration based on the cell cycle and binds to Cdk's to mediate checkpoint signaling.
What are cyclins?
The probability of having AaBBcc progeny when the two parents are: AaBbCc x AaBbCc.
What is 1/32?
The type of molecule that catalyzes peptide bond formation in the ribosome.
What is rRNA? (Also acceptable, ribozyme.)
