DNA Replication Transcription Translation Post Transcription Modification Miscellaneous
100
What is helicase?
Breaks hydrogen bonds connecting DNA bases during DNA replication.
100
What is ligase?
The "glue" that sticks the lagging strands together.
100
What is a charged tRNA?
Brings the amino acid to the translating ribosome.
100
What are introns?
Removed during post-transcription modification.
100
What is RNA polymerase?
Stop codons inhibit this.
200
What is topoisomerase?
Reduces strain on the DNA strand during replication.
200
What is the leading strand?
DNA that is transcribed in the 3' to 5' direction.
200
What are bacteria/prokaryotes?
Transcription and translation occur simultaneously in these organisms.
200
What is the poly A tail?
Protects mRNA from degradation at the 3' end.
200
What is an enhancer?
These can be found upstream or down stream of a gene.
300
What is Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty experiment?
Discovered that DNA was the transforming agent for Griffith's experiment.
300
What is monocistronic?
One open reading frame.
300
What is the E site?
The site where the tRNA leaves the ribosome.
300
What is splicing?
Removal of portions of the mRNA is referred to as this.
300
Who are Watson and Crick?
Discovered the DNA double helix.
400
What is the Hershey-Chase experiment?
Reiterated the point that DNA was the transforming agent and DNA was not.
400
What are bacteria/prokaryotes?
Polycistronic DNA transcription occurs in these organisms.
400
What is the cytosol/cytoplasm?
The site of translation in prokaryotes.
400
What is alternative splicing?
Eukaryotes increase protein production through this mechanism.
400
What are insertion mutations?
Addition of an additional nucleotide into the genome?
500
Who is Griffith?
First individual to conclude that cells contained transforming material.
500
What is exonuclease of RNA polymerase?
Removes incorrect nucleotides.
500
What is the promoter?
Eukaryotic translation start site.
500
What is the 5' cap?
Eukaryotes increase protein production through this mechanism.
500
What are gene duplications?
Provide additional material for natural selection to act on.
