Hemophilia Pedigree - Father has hemophilia, mother does not. What is the outcome for their kids? Correct Answer:   His daughters would be carriers. This is x-link recessive.

 

Autosomal:

Dominant: Correct Answer:   Autosomal: males and females equally affected.

Dominant: non-carrier parents

 

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Correct Answer:   The process of copying DNA in the lab. Uses Template DNA, Nucleotides (dNTPS), DNA polymerase, and DNA primers.

 

3 Steps of PCR Correct Answer:   1. Denaturation: DNA is heated to 95C to separate it.

2. Annealing: reaction is cooled to 50C; primers stick to the DNA you want to copy and add DNA polymerase. 3. Elongation: reaction heated to 70C and DNA polymerase, adding nucleotides building a new DNA strand.

 

Base Excision Repair (BER) Correct Answer:   How you repair a mutation. BER is used to repair damage to a base caused by harmful molecules. You remove the base that is damaged and replace it. *BER removes a single nucleotide*

DNA glycolsylase - sees damaged DNA and removes it.

DNA polymerase-puts the right one back in while DNA ligase seals it.

 

Mismatch repair (MMR) occurs during: Correct Answer:   replication. DNA polymerase proofreads but sometimes a mismatch pair gets through. MMR removes a large section of the nucleotides from the new DNA and DNA polymerase tries again. (Ex: C-T instead of C-A)

 

Mismatch Repair corrects what kind of DNA damage? Correct Answer:   When a base is mismatched due to errors in replication. Such as G-T instead of G-C. DNA polymerase comes by and fixes it.

 

What happens when DNA polymerase binds to DNA to make RNA? Correct Answer:   TRANSCRIPTION! DNA polymerase takes the individual nucleotides and matches them to the parental sequences to ensure a correct pair. It must bind with RNA primer to work.

 

What is needed for DNA replication? Correct Answer:   DNA polymerase

 

Nonsense Mutation Correct Answer:   Change in 1 nucleotide produces a STOP codon Stop= nonsense because it is no more.

 

Silent Mutation Correct Answer:   Change in 1 nucleotide but codes for the same amino acid. Silent= the change doesn't change the name of the protein

 

Missense Mutation Correct Answer:   Change in 1 nucleotide leads to a code for a different amino acid. Missense = mistake was made.

 

What happens during RNA splicing? Correct Answer:   During RNA splicing introns are cut out, the remaining exons are joined together.

 

5'ATG AGT CTC TCT 3'

Find the DNA template strand. Correct Answer:   3'TAC TCA GAG AGA 5'

The DNA template strand is complimentary. So start with the opposite number, then go L-R with the complimentary letter.
