Translation stop site


Give this one a try later!


stop codon of 3' end of mRNA in the last exon of coding region of a
transcript
-ribosome dissociates, protein is made




cq: Rank the likelihood of the following changes caused by a substitution mutation:
A-substitution of one amino acid for another,
B-a shortened protein sequence,
C-no change in the amino acids of a protein,
D-a longer protein sequence.

, A, C, B, D
i think- i guessed




Gene (eukaryotic)


Give this one a try later!


consists of:
1. Transcribed section of DNA
2. Cis-Regulatory Elements (CREs): DNA sequences that contribute to
phenotypic trait- influences structure/function of organism (genes can
share enhancers)
genes can overlap
genes can be on either strand (transcription can go both ways)




spontaneous deamination


Give this one a try later!


changes nucleotide causing substitution mutation
cytosine (C)--> Uracil (U)




DNA intercalating chemicals


Give this one a try later!


class of chemicals that cause indels by:
shoving themselves between nitrogenous bases of dsDNA helix, disrupting
DNA structure during replication, leading to insertions
(DNA polymerase senses bulge and inserts mutation accidentally)

, ex: Ethidium bromide (DNA dye), benzo(a)pyrene, BaP(major mutagen of
tobacco smoke)




Mitochondrial genome
-relative size
-shape
-gene placement


Give this one a try later!


-circular.
-Very tiny. 17,000 bp in humans, 78,000 in yeast
-1000-5000 molecules per animal cell
-Very compact. Most of the genome encodes protein.




DNA transposons
-% genome
-function and how


Give this one a try later!


-Make up 3% of human genome
-Also get transcribed and translated
-However, no reverse transcription occurs
-DNA transposon encodes transposases which simply cut out
transposon, and insert it in a new place.
-The transposon can get replicated if it is cut out during
DNA replication and both "land" back in parental strand.




chromatin

, Give this one a try later!


any DNA sequences AND associated proteins (histones)




Heterochromatin & Euchromatin


Give this one a try later!


Euchromatin: loosely packed nucleosomes, actively transcribed
-high CG content (gene rich)
-unwrapped and free in nucleus
-made of active TADs
Heterochromatin: condensed, tightly packed nucleosomes, inactive and
not transcribed (atm)
-attached to nuclear envelope (membrane)
-high AT content (gene poor)
-made of inactive TADs




Primary transcript (pre-mRNA)
-define
-function
-location
-size


Give this one a try later!


first copy of RNA made from transcription
size: 2500 bp?
location: in nucleus (need to go thru RNA modification)
function: so u can do alternative splicing for different types of the gene for
cell types
