Card preview (23)

#1
Front (Question)

What is Protein Synthesis also known for?

Back (Answer)

Centril Dogma

#2
Front (Question)

Protein Synthesis

Back (Answer)

The pathway to make proteins from DNA

#3
Front (Question)

RNA

Back (Answer)

A single strand of nucleotide that uses ribose sugars and Uracil instead of thymine

#4
Front (Question)

Transcription

Back (Answer)

Cell copies a DNA sequence into a portable messenger RNA (mRNA) with the help of a RNA polymerase

#5
Front (Question)

Messenger RNA (mRNA)

Back (Answer)

Attaches to ribosomes, it copies DNA’s code and carries genetic info to the ribosomes

#6
Front (Question)

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Back (Answer)

Makes up Ribosomes

#7
Front (Question)

Transfer RNA (tRNA)

Back (Answer)

(Part of Translation) Located at the ribosome transferring amino acids to assemble the growing protein chain

#8
Front (Question)

Condon

Back (Answer)

A genetic code for every 3 nucleotides that makes up one amino acid (20 diff. amino acids are made)

#9
Front (Question)

Translation

Back (Answer)

Cells use the genetic info encoded in the mRNA for tRNA to read mRNA’s instructions and brings the corresponding amino acids to the rRNA for it to produce the protein chain

#10
Front (Question)

Mutation

Back (Answer)

A permanent, structural change in an organism’s DNA sequence

#11
Front (Question)

Positives about Mutation!

Back (Answer)

A source of variation that may provide an advantage

#12
Front (Question)

Negatives about Mutation

Back (Answer)

Protein might no longer function (leading to disease)

#13
Front (Question)

Neutral effect of Mutaiton

Back (Answer)

No change in Protein function

#14
Front (Question)

Substitution

Back (Answer)

One base in the DNA sequence is replaced with a different base

#15
Front (Question)

Substitution (significance)

Back (Answer)

May or May not have a effect on the protein sequence (gambling 😜)

#16
Front (Question)

Insertion

Back (Answer)

An extra base is inserted into the DNA sequence

#17
Front (Question)

Insertion (significance)

Back (Answer)

Condons are altered after this point; proteins has a high chance of being nonfunctional (worse at the start)

#18
Front (Question)

Deletion

Back (Answer)

A base is deleted from the DNA sequence

#19
Front (Question)

Deletion (significance)

Back (Answer)

Condons are altered after this point; proteins has a high chance of being nonfunctional

#20
Front (Question)

P53

Back (Answer)

A tumor suppressor gene that is normally found in human cells

#21
Front (Question)

P53 function

Back (Answer)

Stops/slows down cell division to prevent tumors from forming; recognizes DNA changes; informs cells to fix DNA; triggers apoptosis when cells are damaged

#22
Front (Question)

Apoptosis

Back (Answer)

Cell death

#23
Front (Question)

P53 mutations

Back (Answer)

Is no longer able to send signals to stop division –> leads to tumors forming cancer
