No affect on cell but affect on genotype. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Variable affect on the cell. CGA -> CAA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Changes a codon to stop. total affect dependent upon how close to the end of the strand the mutation occurs. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
insert or deletes a single base which alters all of the downstream codons. usually results in drastic changes. |

Definition
type of repair used to repair crosslinked thymidine dimers. Low risk,cut out the sequence with DNA poly 1 based on the other stands sequence. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
High risk. uses RecA, induced when there is so much damage to the cell that it is unlikely to survive. Last Ditch effort. Error prone. May mean replacement with other parts of chromosomes. |
|
|
Term
Transposable elements (transponsons) |
|
Definition
Transposons are jumping genes that move around the genome causing mutations. |
|
|
Term
How do bacterial cells sense the environment. |
|
Definition
Two component signal transduction. Sensor kinase protein binds to signal, hunts food, uses chemical cues. Cytoplasmic response regulator takes phosphate from sensor and binds to the chromosome to alter transcription rates of genes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Sigma factor guides RNA polymerase to initiate transcription at promoter. Activator binds DNA sites to next promoter and increase frequency of that genes transcription. Repressor binds to DNA site on top of promoter and lowers frequency of that genes transcription. |
