Term
Definition
Genetics   The study of inheritance and inheritable traits as expressed by an organisms genetic material (rna to be used for dfferent functions) (mrna is only rna encoded)    
๐Ÿ—‘
Genome   The entire genetic component of an organism including its nucleotides.    
๐Ÿ—‘
Nucleic acid   polymers made of nucleotides (either for DNA or RNA)    
๐Ÿ—‘
What are nucleotides made of?   pentose sugar (deoxyribose or ribose), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine)    
๐Ÿ—‘
What are the 5 nitrogenous bases?   For DNA it's adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine. For RNA it's adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil.    
๐Ÿ—‘
which of the nitrogenous bases can be complementary to each other?   A--T, G---C for DNA, and A--U for rna    
๐Ÿ—‘
What is located at the 2' carbon of deoxyribose? What is located at the 2' carbon of ribose   H at the 2' Ca of deoxyribose and OH of ribose    
๐Ÿ—‘
What structure does DNA have   DNA is a double stranded, double helical structure that is antiparallel, and is held together by hydrogen bonds between complimentary base pairs    
๐Ÿ—‘
What is the function of DNA?   contains the genetic material that will be used be transcribed into RNA in regions called ***    
๐Ÿ—‘
Genes   section that contain genetic material for an organism    
๐Ÿ—‘
What allows RNA to have many functions?   single stranded composed of nucleotides. Structure can vary on the type of protein and shape dictatres.    
๐Ÿ—‘
What are the 5 main types of RNA? What are their basic shape and function?   Coding rna (mrna) linear, tRNA carry amino acid and contain anticodon, rRNA form ribosome complex, spliceosome splice introns from pre-mrna, and regulatory RNA (help regulate gene expression    
๐Ÿ—‘
What rna are coding RNA?   mRNA    
๐Ÿ—‘
What RNA is involved in protein synthesis?   tRNA and rRNA    
๐Ÿ—‘
Antisense RNA (asRNA)   can bind to mRNA and prevent them from being translated    
๐Ÿ—‘
Splicesome RNA?   snRNA used in eukaryote pre-mRNA    
๐Ÿ—‘
Regulatory RNA types   Antisense RNA (blocks translation) micro RNA (miRNA) regulates translation, and small interfering RNA (silences gene expression)    
๐Ÿ—‘
What are the three types of RNA directly involved in the process of translation for all cells   tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA    
๐Ÿ—‘
What type of chromosome do bacterial cells have? single or multiple? haploid or diploid? location? plasmid present?   single circular DNA chromosome, haploid, located in the nucleoid, plasmids in the cytosol.    
๐Ÿ—‘
What type of chromosome do eukaryote cells have? single or multiple? haploid or diploid? location? plasmid present?   linear, multiple, diploid, located in the nucleus, plasmid found in the mitochondria    
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the four types of bacteria plasmids?   fertility factors, resistance factors, bacteriocin factors, virulence plasmids    
๐Ÿ—‘
Small Nuclear RNA (snRNA)   helps with splicing of eukaryotic mRNA during processing    
๐Ÿ—‘
Micro RNA (miRNA) and Small interfering RNA (siRNA)   can bind to mRNA molecules to prevent them from being translated by recruiting enzymes that hydrolyze them    
๐Ÿ—‘
Bacterial plasmid   small molecules of dna that replicate independently, not essential, four types of plasmids    
๐Ÿ—‘
eukaryotic plasmids   found in mitochondria and chloroplasts, similar to prokaryote chromosome, code for 5% of RNA and proteins, some fungi, algae, and protozoa    
๐Ÿ—‘
Do bacteria cells have histones?   no    
๐Ÿ—‘
do eukaryotes have histones   yes, located in nuclear chromosomes only    
๐Ÿ—‘
fertility factors   genes that are responsible for conjugation pili    
๐Ÿ—‘
resistance factors   genes that are responsible for antibiotic resistence factors    
๐Ÿ—‘
bacteriocin factors   protein secreted that are toxic to other bacteria, is competitive w/other bacteria    
๐Ÿ—‘
Virulence plasmids   genes that produce genes that are toxic to humans, or toxic to tissues    
๐Ÿ—‘


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
