Leads to increase in high energy collisions. - ANSWER Why does the rate of a
chemical reaction increase with increasing temperature?
Concentration of reactants, heat, the presence of a catalyst - ANSWER What
affects rate of chemical reaction?
Cellular respiration - ANSWER Converts energy into ATP; take place in
mitochondria
Aerobic respiration - ANSWER Cellular energy with oxygen
Anaerobic respiration - ANSWER Cellular energy without oxygen
Process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half
the original amount of genetic information (sex cells). They go through mitosis.
- ANSWER What is meiosis and what happens if it does not happen during
sex-cell development in plants?
What is the purpose of SDS when used in SDS electrophoresis? - ANSWER
Denature proteins and give them negative charge
Haploid: One set of chromosomes; gametes
Diploid: Two sets of chromosomes; somatic cells
Zygote: 2 haploid gametes fuse during fertilization to form a diploid cell
(zygote) - ANSWER Whats difference between diploid/haploid/zygote?
Same as parent; 46 - ANSWER After a mitotic division, how many
chromosomes do daughter cells have compared with the parent cell?
Alleles - ANSWER Alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are
found at the same place on a chromosome.
Diploid - ANSWER Are humans diploid or haploid?
, Translation and Transcription - ANSWER Genes encode for proteins. During
translation, MRna encodes a blueprint to make the proteins. In transcription,
DNA makes complimentary RNA.

each original strand of DNA serves as a template for a new strand, is called:
A technique used in molecular biology to amplify a single copy or a few copies
of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude - ANSWER What is
polymerase chain reaction?
Polymerase and Ligase - ANSWER Enzymes involved with in vivo DNA
replication, and which are also used as tools in biotechnology include:
Uracil - ANSWER DNA does not contain base pair
Purines - ANSWER Adenine and guanine
Pyrimidines - ANSWER Thymine and cytosine
DNA Polymerase - ANSWER (PCR) requires what enzyme to be thermostable
(resistant to high temperatures) in order to "amplify" a sample of DNA?
Ligase - ANSWER If you think of recombinant DNA technology as cutting and
pasting pieces of DNA, which molecule represents the glue?
An operon consists of a group of structural genes that code for enzymes
involved in a metabolic pathway. They are under control of a promoter (a short
segment of DNA to which the RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription)
and regulated by an operator. - ANSWER Bacteria cell DNA is divided into
operons. Describe an operon using the terms promoter, operator, and structural
gene.
Hydrogen bonding - ANSWER Complimentary base pairing holding two DNA
strands together is due to:
