Hemophilia Pedigree - Father has hemophilia, mother does not. What is the outcome for their kids?
Correct Answer-His daughters would be carriers. This is
... [Show More] 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 happends 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.
5'ATG AGT CTC TCT 3'
What is the corresonding mRNA sequence? Correct Answer-5'AUG AGU CUC UCU 3'
This sequence is the same as the coding strand except T changes to U because it is RNA. RNA doesn't
have T.
How would a mutation from CTC to ATC affect the protein sequence? (CTC/ATC - coding strand, AUC -
mRNA strand) Correct Answer-This will make a missense mutation because it changes the name of the
protein. (look at the chart provided.) missense = mistakeDNA replication process Correct Answer-DNA ->Transcription -> RNA -> Translation -> Polypeptide
Describe how you would find what ionized Alanine looks like. Correct Answer-This is an amino acid. Look
for the "R" group. Alanine is a hydrophobic amino acid that has CH3. It is a weak interaction. An ionized
acid will have a + or - charge.
Describe what causes the misfolding of protein in Alzheimer's Disease. Correct Answer-Protein
misfolding is caused by intracellular tangles and extracellular plaques (senile plaques) caused by
abnormal protein aggregation.
TAU is fibrous material inside cells where the connections are lost. This becomes defective and forms
filaments in the neuron.
Amyloid-Beta is a large precursor protein in the cell. Excess amyloid-beta creates senile plaques. This
starts in the hippocampus and moves up [Show Less]
