Cards

Term
DNA
Definition
DS, large, Stable
Stores info for all proteins in cell
Term
RNA
Definition
SS- can from DS- internal/external
Small Copy section of DNA Stores info to make a peptide/protein
Short lived
Term
Replication
Definition
DNA> semi-conserved
Each original strand serves as template of new
Each cell old/new
Term
4 types of RNA
Definition
messenger RNA, seq for protein
transfer RNA,translator
ribosomal, part ribosome
regulatory, controls use of RNA/DNA
Term
Purines/Pyrimidines
Definition
The Group or grouping of molecules
Term
Phosphodiester Bonds
Definition
the Connection of the nucletides to eachother.
Term
Lagging Strand
Definition
RNA Primase can start from anywhere it wants to only on the 3' end.
Term
DNA polymerase
Definition
Only Add to 3' end
Cannot Start a strand
Can replace RNA w/ DNA
Term
Use RNA primase
Definition
Still only add to 3' end
Can start strand
Term
Okazaki Fragments
Definition
bunch small pieces DNA, Stitch together by DNA ligase.
Term
Lagging Strand
Definition
RNA Primase can start from anywhere it wants to only on the 3' end.
Term
DNA polymerase
Definition
Only Add to 3' end
Cannot Start a strand
Can replace RNA w/ DNA
Term
Use RNA primase
Definition
Still only add to 3' end
Can start strand
Term
Okazaki Fragments
Definition
bunch small pieces DNA, Stitch together by DNA ligase.
Term
Transcription
Definition
Copy section of DNA, RNA Polymerase,Onestrand or other, with Sequences
Start- Promoter
Stop- Terminator
Messenger RNA mainly
Term
Messenger RNA (Transcription)
Definition
1. cut and splice
introns- tossed(cut sections)
exons- splice together(remaining pieces)

2. Add 7- methyl guanosine 5' end
cap
helps attach to ribosome??

3. Add poly A tail 3' end
20-300( how many times you can use it)
lifespan message???
Term
Translation
Definition
Last idea
3 letter words
4^3= 64 combinations
More than enough.

Each word
aa meaning(amino Acid)
several words same meaning
degeneracy
3 nt word= codon (are attached to messenger RNA)
Ribosome helps group letters
Term
To Translate
Definition
Translate
1. Start
Groups 3nt
Start 5' >> first AUG
Methionine (f-met pro)
2. Stop
3 words= stop- no meaning
UAA, UGA, UAG
Need translator
Transfer RNA
Term
Each match to section
Modify
Attach aa
Definition
UAC-MET
UUA-LEU
AAU-ASN
AAC-ASN
Term
Transfer RNA
Definition
Makes connection between seq and aa.
Translator
anticodon(Found on Transfer RNA)
Term
Ribosome
Definition
Stable platform
Aligns
Links aa

sequence events
small ribo part links to mRNA
then
small links to large
Term
Translation (Last part)
Definition
Two sites
transfer RNA binds
2 aa linked(at this point)
cut off tRNA(is the to the connection)(connected via a Peptide bond)
move-next codon (stops at UAA which has no meaning)
Term
Gene Regulation
Definition
Analyze protein
Patterns Different

DNA same
Proteins different
Term
Gene Regulation levels
Definition
*Transcriptional Level*, Translational Level
Term
Lac operon
Definition
Lac- lactose
Operon- group genes under common control/common job
Term
Lac Operon
Definition
I P O z/y/a :Structural
--------//-------------/-------------/-------------------

I= gene codes for inhibitor/regulator

P- Promoter- polymerase binds

O- Operator- inhibitor binds

z/y/a- genes code for proteins/enzymes use lactose
Term
Induction
always off, till turn on with inducer
Definition
. Repressor always made
binds/unbinds operator
blocks transcription

2. Add inducer - lactose
binds to/ changes inhibitor
Not bind operator
site open>>>transcribe z/y/a

3. lactose used up
Inhibitor reappears/ binds O region
transcription stops.
Term
Mutations
Definition
Seq has info
change seq, change info.
