Replicate the
following DNA:
CTAGGTTAG
CTAGGTTAG
GATCCAATC
Where is the DNA
located in both
Pro- and
Eukaryotes?
In Prokaryotes, the DNA is
free floating in the
cytoplasm
In Eukaryotes, the DNA is
safely contained within the
nucleus
What forces need
to be broken when
DNA strands are
separated?
Hydrogen bonds
between
nucleotides
What are the three
parts to a DNA
molecule
1. Deoxyribose
(5-C sugar)
2. Phosphate Group
3. Nitrogenous Base
Who determined
the shape and
structure of the
DNA molecule
Watson and Crick
What is a
promoter?
A binding site for
RNA polymerase
(not a “start” sign)
How many codons
are needed to
specify for 3 amino
acids?
Three
Which type of RNA
functions as a
blueprint of the
genetic code?
mRNA
What does the
following sequence
code for?
UUUCGGGUCUAA
UUUCGGGUCUAA
Phenylalanine,
Arginine, Valine,
STOP
How is DNA
different from
RNA?
1. RNA is single stranded
2. The 5-C Sugar
3. No “T” in RNA (Uracil
replaces it)
What is the process
of going from DNA
to RNA called?
Transcription
What are Hox
genes?
A basic body plan
What
is “D”
tRNA
What
process is
being
illustrated
here?
Translation
You are given the
following:
ATGGCG
What amino acids will
this code for?
ATG GCG
UAC CGC
Tyrosine, Arginine
What
is “C”
A Ribosome
What are the three
types of RNA and
what do they do?
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA
What is a
frameshift
mutation
The entire reading frame
(the three letter frame) is
shifted due to deletions
or duplications
Which
structure
is a
codon?
F
How are “codons”
and “anticodons”
related?
The codons and
anticodons have
complementary
bases
The amino acid depends on the
tRNA’s anticodon
What is a Gene
Mutation?
Involve changes in only
a few nucleotides..
Known as point
mutations
What is “A”
Deletion
What is “C”
Inversion
What is
Polyploidy?
Polyploidy is when
an organism has
extra sets of
chromosomes
In what way can
mutations be
“good”??
Increases genetic
diversity. Provides
an array of genes and
expressions. Drives
evolution.
Make your wager
Provide a DNA strand (double
helical… meaning include its
complement) that would ultimately
code for the following protein:
Lysine—Lysine—Glycine—
Cysteine—Leucine—
Phenylalanine—Serine—XXX
Why are there
many different
answers????????
Who is correct??
