Question
Answer
mRNA   encodes proteins, is translated by ribosomes  
🗑
rRNA   multiple in lg ribosomal subunit, catalyze formation of peptide bonds  
🗑
Ribozyme   RNA with catalytic activity  
🗑
tRNA   contains anticodons that base pair w codons and decode into amino acids, brings amino acids to ribosomes  
🗑
core promoter   directly recruits and binds general transcription factors and RNA polymerase  
🗑
core promoter same or different in all genes?   same  
🗑
basal transciption apparatus   RNA polymerase and general transcription factors  
🗑
basal transcription apparatus required for transcription in all genes?   yes  
🗑
transcription regulatory proteins   bind regulatory elements to repress/activate transcription  
🗑
actions of transcriptional regulatory proteins   acetylation, deacetylation, methylation, demethylation, bromodomain, chromodomain, PHD finger, WD40 repeat  
🗑
are transcription regulatory proteins same for all RNA polymerases?   no, specific  
🗑
are transcription regulatory proteins same for all cell types?   no, specific  
🗑
are transcription regulatory proteins same for all genes?   no, specific  
🗑
enhancers   DNA regulatory elements that act at a large distance  
🗑
reporter gene   gene with obvious phenotype that is used to study regulation of less obvious gene expresssion  
🗑
DNA regulatory element   DNA sequence that increases/dereases gene expression  
🗑
Types of mutations   insertion, deletion, substitution  
🗑
Effects of mutations   frameshift, silent mutation, nonsense mutation, missense mutation  
🗑
Stop codons   UGA, UAA, UAG  
🗑
What is the ribosome recruited by in eukaryotes?   5' cap (modified guanine)  
🗑
What is the ribosome recruited by in prokaryotes?   Shine-Dalgarno sequence  
🗑
Order of pieces of eukaryotic mRNA sequence   5' cap, 5' UTR, start codon, ORF, stop codon, 3' UTR, poly(A) tail  
🗑
Ways prokaryotes can't regulate gene expression   chromatin structure, mRNA processing  
🗑
What causes a change in RNA/protein molecules?   change in regulatory DNA  
🗑
What happens when there is a mutation at a splice site?   the intron doesn't get spliced  
🗑


   

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.
