originating from different species.
Alternative Splicing - CORRECT ANSWER - Different forms of mRNA from the same pre-mRNA
molecules
Allows for the creation of many more proteins than expected from our 20,000 protein-coding
genes
Splicing activator and repressor proteins interact with snRNPs of the splicesome.
,Alternative splicing, or differential splicing, is a regulated process during gene expression that
results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins.
Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase - CORRECT ANSWER - uses energy from ATP to add an amino
acid onto tRNA, so it can then bind to mRNA and be transcribed
Anaphase - CORRECT ANSWER - Chromosomes are pulled apart, pulling two identical
daughter chromosomes to each end of the cell
Aneupoloidy - CORRECT ANSWER - Possessing an abnormal number of chromosomes. EX:
45,47
Avery Experiment - CORRECT ANSWER - Determined what material contains genetic material
by extracting protein, DNA, and RNA from IIIS cells through heating. Conducted four
experiments where all material was added to vials of IIR cells.
,1. All material added (protean, RNA, DNA). IIR and IIIS cells present because of transformation
of genetic material.
2. Treated with protease, only DNA and RNA were active. IIR and IIIS cells were present.
3. Treated with ribonuclease, only DNA and protein were active. IIR and IIIS cells were present.
4. Treated with deoxyribonuclease. RNA and protein were active. ONLY IIR CELLS WERE
PRESENT.
Conclusion, when DNA is not present, transformation does not occur. Tells us DNA passes on
genetic information.
Bacterial DNA Replication Elongation - CORRECT ANSWER - Primase lays down RNA primers
that DNA Polymerase III can then synthesize DNA into two separate strands from (can only
synthesize in a 5' to 3' direction
, DNA ligase sticks these strands of DNA together
DNA Polymerase I removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA, completing a whole new
strands of DNA
Bacterial DNA Replication Initiation - CORRECT ANSWER - One origin of Replication
Two DNA replication forks
One site of replication termination
Replication initiation at oriC
DnaA proteins bind to DnaA box sequences and to each other, bending the DNA.
