Cards

Term
Meiosis
Definition
sex (gamete) cell production
Term
Zygote
Definition
when sperm and egg meet, this cell forms
Term
Reduction Division
Definition
going from the 2N # to the N#
Term
follicle stimulating hormone
Definition
tells meiosis to happen
Term
Prophase 1
Definition
i. DNA- chromosomes (homologous chromosomes)
ii. Nuclear Membrane falls
iii. Rise of the spindle apparatus
Term
Metaphase 1
Definition
i. Homologous chromosomes line up in center of the cell
ii. Crossing over
Term
Anaphase 1
Definition
i. Homologous chromosomes segregate and move to opposite ends
ii. **Segregate NOT separate
Term
Telophase 1
Definition
i. Fall of the spindle apparatus
ii. Nuclear membrane reforms
iii. DNA –
1. in females it diffuses into chromatin
2. In males partial
Term
Meiotic cell cycle
Definition
interphase
prophase 1
metaphase 1
anaphase 1
telophase 1
cytokenisis
(starts over again, but without interphase the 2nd time)
Prophase 2
metaphase 2
anaphase 2
telophase 2
Term
prophase 2
Definition
i. Females DNA condenses into chromosomes (no longer homologous chromosomes)
ii. Loss of the nuclear membrane
iii. Rise of the spindle apparatus
Term
Metaphase 2
Definition
i.Chromosomes line up
Term
ANAPHASE 2
Definition
i.Chromosomes SEPARATE at the centromere
Term
TELOPHASE 2
Definition
i. Fall of Spindle Apparatus
ii. Nuclear Membrane’s reform
iii. DNA diffuse into chromatin
iv. Cytokinesis
Term
DOUBLE HELIX
Definition
2 COMPLIMENTARY OPPOSITE STRANDS OF DNA WRAPPED TOGETHER
Term
HYDROGEN BOND
Definition
2 STRANDS OF DNA ARE HELD TOGETHER BY THIS, BETWEEN BASE GROUPS
Term
INDIVIDUAL STRANDS HELD TOGETHER BY THIS
Definition
PHOSPHATE/ SUGAR BOND
Term
DNA MOLECULES IS COMPOSED OF NUCLEOTIDE MONOMERS JOINED TOGETHER
Definition
i. Base- sugar –PO4 groups
ii. Purines- 2 rings
iii. Pyrimidine- single
Term
BASE PAIR: DNA
Definition
A-T G-C
Term
BASE PAIR: RNA
Definition
A-U G-C
Term
CODON
Definition
SEQUENCE OF 3 BASES IN AN mRNA STRAND THAT CODES FOR AN AMINO ACID, OR ACTS AS A START OR STOP SIGNAL FOR TRANSLATION
Term
PROKARYOTIC CELLS HAVE WHAT TYPE OF DNA?
Definition
CIRCULAR
Term
EUKARYOTIC CELLS HAVE WHAT TYPE OF DNA?
Definition
LINEAR
Term
WHAT HAPPENS DURING DNA REPLICATION?
Definition
a. Two strands are going to separate—DNA Helicase- uncoils and opens the strands
i. What you want to copy is the sequence of the base groups
ii. Base groups are vulnerable to damage
b. Start copying process—
i. Enzyme comes down and lays down a primer
ii. RNA primer—laid down by primace
c. Semi- Conservative Replication
i. DNA polymerase comes in and continues to go until it is done—binds to the primer enzyme
ii. Backsides have to wait for a primer to be laid down and a polymerase to come in a pick up the lagging
iii. Okazaki fragments—reason for s-phase takes so long
d. Another polymerase comes in and does:
i. Removes the RNA
ii. It synthesizes DNA in its place
iii. DNA ligates join the strands
Term
PURINE BONDS TO __________?
Definition
PURINE
Term
HOW TO FIX DNA
Definition
a. Purine bonds to a purine
b. Polymerase cannot run down the chain
c. Identification and excization (cutting out the damage)
d. Endonucleases- cuts DNA—restrictions enzymes
e. Another polymerase comes in and fills in the error
i. Polymerases are the only things that can make DNA**
f. Un-joined—ligases going to come in and join—complete the repair process
Term
TELOMERE
Definition
special end of chromosomes that’s shortened each time DNA gets replicated
Term
GENES
Definition
a special section on DNA that’s information on how to make a protein and RNA
Term
PROMOTER
Definition
TURNS THE GENE ON
Term
TRANS SCRIPTED FACTOR
Definition
BINDS PROMOTER, AND TURNS IT ON
Term
TWO PROCESSES OF MAKING A PROTEIN.
Definition
TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSLATION
Term
WHAT IS TRANSCRIPTION?
Definition
creating a copy of DNA
i. In eukaryotic cells
ii. Happens in the nucleus
iii. After a gene is promotes
iv. Make a copy of gene
v. Messenger RNA- the copy of the gene
Term
WHAT IS TRANSLATION?
Definition
translating a copy into a protein
i. Takes place outside nucleus
ii. In the cytoplasm
iii. In eukaryotic cells
Term
HOW DO WE TURN A GENE ON BUT NOT TURN ON THE OTHERS?
Definition
GLUCOSE TRANSPORTER
Term
WHAT IS THE GLUCOSE TRANSPORTER?
Definition
i. When glucose binds a cell it changes the cell, which then turns on the gene in the glucose transporter
Term
ANTICODON
Definition
THE BRIDGE--ONLY ON TRNA
Term
RNA POLYMERASE
Definition
RNAP is needed for constructing RNA chains from DNA genes as templates, a process called transcription. RNA polymerase enzymes are essential to life and are found in all organisms and many viruses. In chemical terms, RNAP is a nucleotidyl transferase that polymerizes ribonucleotide at the 3' end of an RNA transcript.
