Review
  • Chromosomes
    made up of DNA wound around proteins called histones
  • Histones
    proteins
  • Double helix
    describes the twisted shape of DNA
  • Purines
    adenine and gamine
  • Pyrimidines
    thymine and cytosine
  • DNA polymerase
    catalyzes DNA replication
  • Chromatid
    daughter DNA strand
  • Centromere
    holds together identical chromatids
  • Helicase
    enzyme that brakes hydrogen bonds
  • Anticodon
    determines which amino acid will be carried by tRNA
  • Transcription
    process of generating a MRNA from DNA for protein synthesis
  • Translation
    use of templet to build protein molecule
  • Rhodopsin
    light sensitive proteins in the eye
  • Codon
    sequence of three mRNA bases that code for a specific amino acid
  • Anticodon
    sequence of three tRNA bases that are complimentary to a codon
  • Triplet
    sequence of three DNA bases that codes for a specific amino acid
  • Mutation
    change in nucleotide sequence of DNA
  • Point mutation
    mutation that involves only one or two nucleotides
  • Substitution
    the least serious mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by a different one
  • Deletion
    one nucleotide is removed
  • Insertion
    extra nucleotide pairs are added
  • Frameshift
    when deletion and insertion mutations alter a cell
  • Missense mutation
    mutation affecting shape or function
  • DNA fingerprint
    unique pattern of everyone's DNA
  • Polymerase chain reaction
    making copies of DNA segments
  • Fragmentation
    restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA into smaller pieces
  • Gel electrophoresis
    technology used to determine length and molecular weight of DNA molecule
  • Probe labeling
    incubated with radiation so that DNA nucleotides tagged with radioactive probe can be seen through autoradiography
  • Detection
    correlating probes with nucleotides
