Where does glycolysis take place? - Solution cytoplasm Glycolysis: What goes in? (Reactants?) - Solution Glucose Gylcolysis: What comes out? (How many ATP, and what are the products?)
What is the final electron acceptor for oxidative phosphorylation? - Solution Oxygen From start to finish, approximately how many ATP molecules are generated from one molecules of ATP that gets processed in aerobic respiration? - Solution 34-36 ATP What is produced from lactate fermentation? Alcohol fermentation? - Solution Lactate and alcohol,CO What are the basic steps of replication? - Solution DNA strands separate, primers hybridize, DNA Polymerase Assembles Nucleotides, Two DNA Molecules Are Produced Helicase - Solution An enzyme that untwists the double helix of DNA at the replication forks. primer - Solution A short segment of DNA that acts as the starting point for a new strand Polymerase - Solution an enzyme that brings about the formation of a particular polymer, especially DNA or RNA. Ligase - Solution An enzyme that connects two fragments of DNA to make a single fragment What are base pairs? - Solution Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine What does guanine pair with during DNA replication? - Solution Cytosine What does cytosine pair with during DNA replication? - Solution Guanine If guanine makes of 25% of the bases in a DNA double helix: What percent of the bases are cytosine? Adenine? Thymine? - Solution 25% Group the following into levels of organizations -DNA -Sister chromatids -Chromosomes - Solution
During transcription from DNA to RNA, you have the following DNA template. - Solution 3' GTACGCTCA 5' What will be the resulting RNA strand? - Solution 5' CATGCGAGT 3' mRNA - Solution messenger RNA; type of RNA that carries instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome tRNA (transfer RNA) - Solution The form of RNA that carries each amino acid to the ribsome to form the polypeptide chain (protein) rRNA (ribosomal RNA) - Solution directs the translation of mRNA into proteins What is the role of RNA polymerase? - Solution -binds to DNA during transcription and separates the DNA strands -then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which to assemble nucleotides into a complementary strand of RNA Is RNA usually double stranded or single stranded? - Solution single stranded During transcription, which RNA nucleotide pairs with DNA's adenine? - Solution Uracil What is gene expression? - Solution the process by which DNA directs protein synthesis, includes two stages: transcription and translation Where does translation take place? Which organelle? - Solution cytoplasm in ribosomes What is a codon? - Solution a sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. What is an exon? - Solution An expressed sequence of DNA; codes for a protein What is an intron? - Solution sequence of DNA that is not involved in coding for a protein (noncoding)
deletion mutation - Solution a mutation in which one or more pairs of nucleotides are removed from a gene substitution mutation - Solution Mutation in which a single base is replaced, potentially altering the gene product. Insertion - Solution A mutation involving the addition of one or more nucleotide pairs to a gene. Are mutations in exons or introns more likely to result in an altered protein?
Is the number of chromosomes in diploid cells half, double, or quadruple that of haploid cells? - Solution Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes (n) as diploid - a haploid cell contains only one complete set of chromosomes. What is an autosome? - Solution Any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome What is a sex chromosome? - Solution a chromosome involved with determining the sex of an organism, typically one of two kinds. What is nondisjunction? - Solution Failure for chromosomes to separate properly. When does nondisjunction occur? - Solution when chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis In which stage of the cell cycle is DNA replicated? - Solution S phase What is down syndrome caused by? what is the result? - Solution Trisomy 21,distinct facial appearance, intellectual disability, developmental delays What is Marfan's syndrome? - Solution genetic condition that affects the body's connective tissue. Why are males more likely to exhibit X-linked disorders such as Fragile X syndrome? - Solution Because females have two copies of the X chromosome and males have only one X chromosome What is the equator of the cell? - Solution the central plane of the spindle in a dividing cell When does crossing over occur during cell division? - Solution between prophase I and metaphase I When do sister chromatids separate during mitosis? Meiosis? - Solution Anaphase, anaphase 1
How many daughter cells are produced by mitosis? Meiosis? Are they haploid or diploid? - Solution 2 daughter cells mitosis , 4 daughter cells meiosis - haploid What part of the DNA might be the only physiological barrier to immortality?
