WGU BioChem OA Review| Questions with 100% Correct Answers | Verified

Males and Females are equally affected - Autosomal The process of copying DNA in the lab. - Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Template DNA, Nucleotides (dNTPS), DNA Polymerase, and DNA Primers. - What is needed for Polymerase Chain Reaction? Denaturing, Annealing, Elongating - What are the three steps of a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)? Denaturing (DNA is heated up to separate it) - What is the first step of a Polymerase Chain Reaction? Cooling the Polymerase Chain Reaction. Primers stick to the DNA that you want to copy and ADD DNA Polymerase - What is Annealing? The Polymerase Chain Reaction is heated and DNA Polymerase adds nucleotides to build a new DNA strand. - What is elongating? Ligase - What is NOT involved in PCR? It is used to repair damage to bases caused by harmful molecules by removing the base that is damaged and replacing it. #1 GLYCOSYLASES see the damaged DNA. #2 DNA Polymerase puts the right one back #3 DNA Ligase seals it. - What is base excision repair (BER)? DNA Glycolysase sees the damage and removes it, DNA polymerase puts the tight base back, DNA ligase seals it back up. - What are the 3 steps in base excision repair? 1 - How many nucleotides does base excision repair remove?
