Frage 1
Frage
What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Check all that apply.
Antworten
-
Eukaryotic cells have multiple linear chromosomes whereas prokaryotic cells have a singular circular chromosome
-
Eukaryotic cells contain more genetic information
-
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane bound organelles
-
Prokaryotic cells contain no nucleus
-
Prokaryotic DNA is complexed by histones
Frage 2
Frage
DNA polymerase I is important in the coordination of leading and lagging strand synthesis
Frage 3
Frage
You receive a nasty sunburn. Your DNA initially attempts to repair this damage through [blank_start]Nucleotide Excision Repair[blank_end].This initial attempt is unsuccessful but the DNA replication blockage is bypassed by [blank_start]Translesion Synthesis[blank_end].

Frage 8
Frage
[blank_start]End-joining repair[blank_end] fixes double stranded breaks and it is an [blank_start]inaccurate[blank_end] repair system.

accurate
Frage 9
Frage
Origins of replication are usually [blank_start]AT-rich[blank_end] because they are joined by only 2 hydrogen bonds (compared to 3 for [blank_start]G-C pairs[blank_end]) so it requires [blank_start]less[blank_end] energy to separate the DNA strands for replication to begin.

Frage 12
Frage
DNA replication is [blank_start]semi-conservative[blank_end]
Frage 13
Frage
What are some differences between base excision repair and mismatch repair.
Antworten
-
Repair different types of base mismatches: replication errors for MR and modified bases eg by deamination for BER
-
Mismatches are detected differently - MR distinguishes between the parental and newly synthesised strand shortly after DNA replication and corrects the new strand; BER recognises particular incorrect pairs, e.g. those that have arisen by common deamination events and corrects the base that has been deaminated (eg C to U or methylC to T)
-
MR acts straight after replication while BER acts at any time.
-
First step involves removal of base only in BER but involves cutting the DNA backbone in MR, or could express this as glycosylase involved (to remove base) in BER but not MR (if you just mentioned the removal of a base, you needed to specify this was in the first step as both processes involve loss of backbone and repair)
-
Stretch of backbone removed in MR but only 1 nucleotide in BER
-
The backbone is removed by exonuclease in MR but an endonuclease in BER (like point 4 in similarities, you needed to be fairly specific here.
