What determines a proteins function?
A protein' shape
A protein's oxidation
A protein's color
A cell's shape
What happens when hemoglobin mutates at a critical point?
The function changes
The shape changes
Nothing changes
What are the types of hereditary traits?
Preferances
Predisposition to medical disorders/diseases
Behavioral traits
Opinions
Physical traits
Males have two Y chromosomes and females have one Y and one X chromosome
How many chromosomes do humans have and where do they come from?
48 (24 from the mother and 24 from the father)
48 (12 from the mother, 12 from the father, and 24 are created once the baby is concieved)
46 (23 from the mother and 23 from the father)
46 (24 from the mother and 22 from the father)
50 (25 from the mother and 25 from the father)
How many natural amino acids are there?
21
12
56
20
The nucleus of a cell is like a computer's hard-drive
The DNA of a cell (held in the nucleus) is like a computers software
mRNA act like cellular 3-D printers
Ribosomes act like messengers or flashdrives within the cell, sending copies of software
Genes are made of nucleotides (A, T, C, and G)
Genes are instructions for printing proteins
Amino acids are used to build the nucleus
tRNA are "truckers" that bring amino acids to ribosomes that are creating proteins
One gene is enough DNA to give ribosomes protein making instructions
What is a misspelling (in terms of genetics)?
A mutation in genetic code
When mRNA prints the wrong proteins
When you use the wrong letters to spell a word
When you miss or skip the first step of cellular division
DNA polymerase is the editing enzyme
Where does transcription take place?
The ribosomes of a cell
The nucleus
The cytosol
The cell wall
Where does translation occur?
What is transcription
The process of converting DNA code into mRNA code
The process of converting DNA code into proteins
The process of converting mRNA code into proteins
The process of converting proteins into DNA
What is translation?
During the DNA replication process, a double helix is unzipped and both sides' genetic codes are matched to create two identical double helices.
What is helicase?
an cell
an enzyme that unzips a double helix
a metal briefcase
a enzyme that converts DNA into mRNA
