-
Degrading thymine to uracil
-
Degrading adenine to uracil
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Approx 20% of cytosine is methylated
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Cytosine methylation is restricted to where?
Respuesta
-
C's immediately 5' of guanidine
-
C's immediately 5' of adenine
-
C's immediately 3' of guanidine
-
C's immediately 3' of adenine
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Methylated cytosine can spontaneously deanimate to thymine
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
Match the word to it's definition- where methylation is done upstream of a gene in order to pack it around the nucleosome and silence it
Respuesta
-
De-novo methylation
-
Maintentence Methylation
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Maintanence methylation- added to newly synthesised DNA opposite methylated groups on the parent strand
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
Clusters in the human genome are the same as in the bacterial genome
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
What is a multigene family?
Respuesta
-
Where related genes of a similar function are found together
-
Where related genes of different functions are found together
-
Related genes with similar functions
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
Gene families are orthologues of each other
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
What is a pseudogene?
Respuesta
-
An inactive gene due to faulty (partial) replication of the original
-
A mutated gene that has become non-functional
-
Slowly more mutations accumulate
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
What is the difference between a pseudogene and a processed pseudogene?
Respuesta
-
The latter has no introns or promoter
-
The former contains no introns or promoter
-
The latter can be used to create mRNA (though it's non functional)
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
Processed pseudogenes are throught to be caused by the re-integration of siRNA into the genome
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
Gene fragments are sections that look like incomplete genes
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
Assuming the squares are all repeated units, what is the image an example of?

Respuesta
-
LINES
-
SINES
-
DNA transposons
-
MINES
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
Interspersed Repeating Intergenic DNA are DNA sections that replicate themselves as they move around the genome.
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
LTR's, LINE's and SINES's are transposed around the genome, how?
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
DNA transposons also have an RNA intermediate
Pregunta 24

Respuesta
-
Tandemly repeated extragenic DNA
-
Interspersed Replicating Integrated Elements
-
Interspersed Repeating Intergenic elements
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
