496653433CompromiseA national covenant in the Netherlands. It was designed to resist the degrees of Trent and the Inquisition.
496653434Tenth pennyA tax imposed by Spain on the Netherlands. It was a 10% sales tax that met plenty of resistance.
496653435Spanish FuryThe greatest atrocity of the war between Spain and the Netherlands. Spanish mercenaries ran amok in Antwerp, leaving 7,000 people dead.
496653436Marian ExilesProtestants who fled England during the reign of Mary I. They settled in Germany and Switzerland and worshiped in their own congregations, wrote contracts justifying armed resistance and waited for a time when a Protestant counteroffensive could be launched in their homelands.
496653437Act of SupremacyThis act repealed all the anti-Protestant legislation of Mary Tudor and asserted Elizabeth's right as "supreme governor" over both spiritual and temporal affairs.
496653438Act of UniformityThis act mandated a revised version of the second "Book of Common Prayer" for every English parish.
496653439"First Blast ofthe Trumpet Against the Terrible Regiment of Women"written by John Knox, founder of Presbyterianism in Scotland. Provoke a revolt against Mary Tudor, was published in the year of Elizabeth's coronation; Elizabeth thought it was against her and she never liked them. Justification for Calvinists to fight.
496653440Treaty of NonsuchAn agreement between England and the Netherlands. England gave money and troops to Netherland in exchange for land. Philip saw this as a declaration of war by England, prompting the Spanish Armada.
496653441Babington PlotAnthony Babington sought Spanish support for an attempt on Elizabeth I's life. Mary Queen of Scots was involved in this plot and as punishment, was executed.
496653442Pre-Conditions for warLack of German unity, religious division, and Calvinists.
496653443Four periods of warBohemian, Danish, Swedish, and Swedish-French
496653444Defenestration of PragueThe Protestant nobility in Prague responded to Ferdinand's decision to revoke the religious freedoms of Bohemian Protestants by throwing his regents out the window.
496653445Edict of RestitutionFerdinand of Bohemia ordered the return of all Catholic property seized by Protestants since 1552. Nullified by the Treaty of Wesphalia.
496653446Peace of PragueGerman Protestant states, led by Saxony, reached a compromise with Ferdinand with this treaty.

496653450Pacification of GhentA union between Catholic provinces and Protestant provinces against Spain. It declared internal regional sovereignty in matters of relgion.
496653451HuguenotsFrench Protestants.
496653452Battle of PaviaIn 1525, Francis I of France was captured by Charles V. This caused the first war of Protestant persecution in France.
496653453Edict of FontainebleauIn 1540, this edict subjected all Huguenots to the Inquisition.
496653454Edict of ChateaubriandHenry II passed this edict to further persecute Protestants.
496653455BourbonsFrench Protestant family with much influence on the French wars of religion. Louis de Conde was their leader.
496653456Montmorency-ChatilionsHuguenot family with much influence on the French wars of religion. They were led by Admiral Gaspard de Coligny.
496653457GuisesMilitant Catholic family of France. They were a major influence on the French wars of relgion.
496653458Conspiracy of AmboiseA plot hatched by Protestant leaders to kidnap Francis II.
496653459January EdictThis edict allowed Protestant in France to worship outside towns publicly and privately inside them. Started by Catherine de Medici
496653460Peace of Saint-Germain-en LayeThis ended the 3rd war of religion allowed Protestants full religious freedoms within their territories and the right to fortify their cities.
496653461St. Bartholomew's Day MassacreThis occurred when Catherine de Medici and the Guise family made an attempt on Coligny's life. When it failed, a nervous Catherine convinced Charles IX that a Huguenot coup was a foot. The execution of several thousand Huguenots was ordered.
496653462PolitiqueA smart political ruler who puts the political survival of the state of religious unity. Best Elizabeth I
496653463Peace of BeaulieuPassed by Henry III. Allowed Huguenots full religious and civil freedoms. Pressure from the Catholic League forced him to shorten it.
496653464Edict of NantesPassed by Henry IV. Allowed Huguenots public worship, right of assembly, admission to public offices and universities, and permission to maintain fortified towns. Exercised within their own towns and territories.
496653465Union of BrusselsCatholic and Protestant provinces joined in an alliance that tolerated religious differences but had political unity. It was the Netherland's unified opposition to Spain.
496653466Perpetual EdictDon John of the Spanish forces had to sign this when the Union of Brussels defeated his forces. It provided for the full removal of Spanish troops from Dutch soil.

496653470Defeat of the Spanish ArmadaMost epic naval turnaround in history. Spain's large ships could not land troops on English shores. Swifter English and Dutch ships outmaneuvered Spain.
496653471Catholic LeagueFormed by ultra-Catholics in 1576 with the goal of exterminating heresy and putting a true Catholic champion (Henry, duke of Guise) on the French throne.
496653472Counter-ReformationThe Roman Catholic Church's attempt to combat the Reformation.
496653473PuritansCalvinists in England and New England- wanted to purify the Anglican Church of its Catholic elements- get rid of statues, idols, and rituals in the Anglican Church
496653474PresbyteriansScottish Calvinists under John Knox
496653475War of 3 Henrys1588-89: Henry Guise of the Catholic League seizes Paris and forces Henry III to make him chief minister. Henry III assassinates Henry Guise (cut up, burned, and dissolved in a vat of acid) and sides with Henry of Navarre (Calvinist again) to crush the Catholic League and take back Paris. Henry III was successful, but was assassinated shortly after by a fanatical friar. Henry of Navarre then takes the throne, but converts to Catholicism AGAIN to be accepted by Catholic France. End of French Wars of Religion.
496653476Council of TroublesAKA "Council of Blood", according to the Dutch. Duke of Alba's action against powerful Dutch aristocrats. Resulted in the strengthening of an organized revolt in the Netherlands.
496653477Defenestration oF Prague May 1618The SPARK that ignited the 30 Years' Wars. Protestants set up a meeting with Catholic officials in Prague. Meeting went badly, Protestants unhappy with Ferdinand's rule. Rebelled by throwing two Catholic officials and a secretary out the window of castle. All survived 70 ft fall -- Catholics said it was a sign from Virgin Mary; Protestants pointed towards a landing pad of manure as their live preserver. Fighting began.
496653478United Provices of NetherlandsThe independent northern provinces of the Netherlands, Protestant, became the Dutch Republic. 12 year truce ended war between N. and S. provinces in 1609, but Spain wouldn't formally recognize the United Provinces' independence until 1648.
49665347930 Years' WarBegan as a war of religion, developed into an international war of politics. Initially was between militant Calvinism and militant Catholicism. Majority of the fighting took place in Germany, so it suffered the most. Four phases: Bohemian, Danish, Swedish, Franco-Swedish. Outcomes: France DOMINATES, Spain = second-class. France gets Alsace and other territories; all German states obtained freedom of religion.
496653480Battle of white MountainFerdinand, with the help of Maxmillian of Bavaria and the Catholic League, defeated Frederick V and won back control of Bohemia, declaring it a Habsburg possession. The Spanish took control of the west part of the Palatine and Maximilian took the rest.
496653481Results of 30 Years' War- N. Germany = Protestant, S. Germany = Catholic -United Provinces (once Netherlands) and Swizerland recognized as independent states -German princes had right to govern and practice freedom of religion as long as the didn't declare war on the HRE -HRE ended with German princes' freedom -Sweden won cash and Baltic land -France won Alsace -France became MOST powerful w/ territory and political gains (Habsburgs weakened, HRE gone) -Germany suffered in population, inflation, trade, food shortages, and destroyed buildings

1095014531DNA CloningProcedure in which a fragment of DNA is inserted into a vector and then transferred to another cell, where it then replicates. (Multiple copies of a single gene = gene cloning)
1095014532Restriction Enzymes (make Recomb. DNA)Cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. Instead of cutting the molecules straight across, they leave "sticky ends". Any DNA cleaved by the such enzyme can be joined readily to another DNA molecule cleaved by the same enzyme. ( ** DNA ligase is used for permanent union)
1095256933PlasmidsAn circular !self-replicating! non-chromosomal DNA molecule found in many bacteria, capable of transfer between bacterial cells of the same species, and occasionally of different species. Antibiotic resistance genes are frequently located on plasmids. Plasmids are particularly important as vectors for genetic engineering
1095256934Bacterial Artificial PlasmidA plasmid in bacteria that can hold large segments of DNA (>100 kb) and contains genes for partitioning the plasmid to daughter cells, antibiotic resistance genes, and an origin of replication
1095094411Gene Cloning in Bact. PlasmidCloning vector - the DNA molecule (plasmid) that can carry foreign DNA into a host cell and replicate there. 1. Isolate genomic DNA of interest and obtain bacterial plasmid for vector. Plasmid can contain genes like ampR for antibiotic resistance and lacZ which can hydrolyze lactose. 2. Plasmid and DNA of interest are cut with same restriction enzyme. 3. Fragments are mixed together and DNA ligase is added. 4. DNA mixture is added to bacteria. 5. Selection is done by phenotypes such as amp resistance or lactose consumption.
1095266762Transfectionelectroporation: A technique to introduce recombinant DNA into cells by applying a brief electrical pulse to a solution containing cells. The electricity creates temporary holes in the cells' plasma membranes, through which DNA can enter. Viruses/gene guns/thin needles: Can also be used to transform cells via injection of DNA Chemical methods can also interact with the cell membrane to make it permeable to DNA insertion.
1095094412cDNA from mRNA procedureFully processed mRNA is extracted from cells where the gene is expressed. Reverse transcriptase (obtained from retroviruses) is used to make a single stranded DNA reverse transcript of each mRNA molecule. DNA polymerase is used to create the complementary strand (poly A tail allows use of short strand of dT's to be used as primer). = complementary DNA - cDNA.
1095094413cDNA Library (vs Genomic library)cDNA libraries won't include introns/exons or other regulatory elements. But a cDNA library is useful for studying sets of genes expressed in particular cell types. Also making cDNA at different time points in a cell allows tracking of patterns of gene expression during development.
1095094414Nucleic Acid HybridizationA technique in which a single-stranded nucleic acid probe is made that is complementary to, and binds to, a target sequence, either DNA or RNA. The resulting double-stranded molecule is a hybrid. The probe can be labeled with a radioactive isotope, a fluorescent tag, or another molecule for tracking.
1095094415Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)DNA Amplification in Vitro - PCR Double stranded DNA containing target sequence + heat resistant DNA polymerase, all four nucleotides, two DNA primers for target sequence (one for each end). => thermocycler: One cycle yields 2 molecules: (2^n where n is cycles) 1. Denature: Heat denatures DNA (seperate strands) 2. Anneal: Cool allowing primers to form bonds with DNA 3. Extension: DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to 3' end of primers extending sequence.
1095167156Gel ElectrophoresisThe separation of nucleic acids or proteins, on the basis of their size and electrical charge, by measuring their rate of movement through an electrical field in a gel (such as agar). DNA moves towards positive pole due to their negative charge (phosphate groups).
1095167157Southern BlottingGel electrophoresis + nucleic acid hybridization = detect bands that include only parts of gene of interest: 1. Prepare fragments: Restriction enzymes digest samples 2. Gel electrophoresis: pattern of bands created 3. DNA transfer (blotting): DNA is transfered to a membrane creating a blot with a pattern of DNA bands just like those of the gel 4. Hybridization: The blot is exposed to a solution containing labeled probe. 5. Detection: sheet of film is used to detect hybrids.
1095228510Western Blottingtechnique that uses antibodies to detect the presence of specific proteins separated by electrophoresis
1095228511Gels vs GelsAgarose gels: DNA/RNA electrophoresis, uses size (compare to size ladder), visualize w/ ethidium bromide. Poly-acrylamide gels: (SDS)PAGE, proteins, uses size/blobbiness (compare to size ladder), visualize with Commaise blue or antibody -> Western blot!
1095208651DNA Sequencingis a technique for determining the precise order of the nucleotides in a DNA fragment.
1095208653Dideoxy Chain Termination (Sanger Method)Used to determine DNA sequence by inducing replication with altered bases that cause fragments of various sizes to be produced. Creates a timed result printout that is read from bottom to top (bottom being the last nucleotide of shortest labeled strand). See image.
1095208657Northern blottingStudy expression of single genes: A technique that enables specific nucleotide sequences to be detected in a sample of mRNA. It involves gel electrophoresis of RNA molecules and their transfer to a membrane (blotting), followed by nucleic acid hybridization with a labeled probe.
1095208659Reverse transcriptase PCRQuicker and more sensitive than Northern blotting (requires less mRNA). Reverse transcriptase yields cDNA which is used as a template for PCR amplification using primers. Then, product is run on a gel and copies of the amplified region will be observed as bands only in samples that contain the mRNA of the gene interest (to measure gene expression).
1095208662in situ hybridizationa method for detecting particular mRNA transcripts in tissue sections by providing a nucleotide probe that is complementary to, and will therefore hybridize with, the transcript of interest.
1095256935DNA Microarray AssayA method to detect and measure the expression of thousands of genes at one time. Tiny amounts of a large number of single-stranded DNA fragments representing different genes are fixed to a glass slide. These fragments, ideally representing all the genes of an organism, are tested for hybridization with various samples of cDNA molecules. 1. Isolate mRNA, make cDNA via RT using labeled nucleotides. 2. Apply cDNA to microarray w/ different gene in each spot. cDNA hybridizes with complementary DNA (probes) on the microarray. 3. Rinse off excess cDNA. Scan for fluorescence. Positive fluorescence = gene expressed in the sample.
1095289761Organismal Cloningthe same as reproductive cloning - a method to create a clone of an entire multicellular organism; this is done by taking a donor cell and fusing it with an egg cell whose nucleus has been removed; the fused cell begins dividing normally; this embryo is then placed in a foster mother's uterus and the embryo develops normally
1095289762Cell PotencyStem cells - undifferentiated cells that continue to divide. They are pluripotent Pluripotency - ability to differentiate into MANY different cell types. Totipotency - ability to differentiate into ANY cell type.
1095289763Nuclear Transplantationa technique in which the nucleus of one cell is placed into another cell that already has a nucleus or in which the nucleus has been previously destroyed (enucleated). Can be used for reproductive cloning of a mammal (e.g. Dolly).
1095329693Cell ReprogrammingIncrease in potency, dedifferentiation. Can be induced by nuclear transfer, cell fusion, genetic manipulation. Differential success rates in use of embryonic cells versus adult mammalian cells in reproductive cloning of a mammal indicates nuclear changes to cells over time with development (epigenetic changes: acetylation of histones, methylation of DNA etc. cause low success rates for normal development.
1095329694Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS Cells)Any cell, even a highly differentiated cell in the adult body, that has been genetically reprogrammed to mimic the pluripotent behavior of embryonic stem cells. Done via delivery of certain transcription factors. -Can differentiate into all three germ layers (ecto meso end -derms). -Telomerase activity -Stem cell markers Still impossible to completely reverse all epigenetic changes.
1095329695Transgenicsthe study and practice of genetic modification by inserting genes from one species into the genetic material of another species. This can produce a new "designed" species. Can be used for protein production by "pharm" animals.
1095329696Human gene therapyan experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.

Macroeconomics Part One Flashcards

Macro Questions

Terms : Hide Images
578464557State the law of demand.Quantity demanded rises as price falls, other things constant. Quantity demanded falls as price rises, other things constant.
578464558Why is price inversely related to quantity demanded?Price is inversely related to quantity demanded because as price rises, consumers substitute other goods whose price has not risen.
578464559List four shift factors of demand and explain how each affects demand.1. Change in consumer tastes. As the taste for a product rises, demand increases 2. Change in income. As income rises, demand increases. 3. Change in taxes paid by consumers. As taxes rise, demand falls. 4. The price of a related consumer good changes. As the price of a complement falls, demand increases.
578464560Distinguish the effect of a shift factor of demand on the demand curve from the effect of a change in price on the demand curve.A change in the price of a good causes a movement along the demand curve, a movement to a new point on the same curve. A shift in the demand curve means that the quantities will be different at all prices.
578464561State the law of supply.Quantity supplied rises as price increases, other things constant. Quantity supplied falls as price decreases, other things constant.
578464562Why is price directly related to quantity supplied?Price is directly related to quantity supplied because, as price rises, people and firms rearrange their activities to supply more of that good in order to take advantage of the higher price.
578464563Mary has just stated that normally, as price rises, supply will increase. Her teacher grimaces. Why?Because as price rises, quantity supplied will increase.
578464564List four shift factors of supply and explain how each affects supply.1. Change in taxes paid by producers. As the taxes producers pay increases, supply decreases. 2. A new production technology is invented. When new production technologies are introduced, supply increases. 3. Producers expect prices of their products to change in the future. As the prices producers expect to sell their products for increases, supply decreases. 4. The price of inputs changes. As the price of inputs rises, supply decreases.
578464565Explain what a sudden popularity of "Economics Professor" brand casual wear would likely do to prices of that brand.The increase in demand would lead to excess demand, which will lead to higher prices. The net result is higher equilibrium price and quantity.
578464566In a flood, usable water supplies ironically tend to decline because the pumps and water lines are damaged. What will a flood likely do to prices of bottled water?The price of bottled water will increase because bottled water is a substitute for water from pumps and waterlines. Demand for bottled water would increase enormously, leading to upward pressure on prices.
578464567The price of gas shot up significantly in 2008 to over $4.00 a gallon. What effect did this likely have on the demand for diesel cars that get better mileage than the typical car?The demand for diesel cars will increase.
578464568OPEC announces it will increase oil production by 20 percent. What is the effect on the price of oil?The effect on the price of oil decreases.
578464569In the United States, say gasoline costs consumers about $2.50 per gallon. In Italy, say it costs consumers about $6 per gallon. What effect does this price differential likely have on the size of cars in the United States and in Italy?The cars in Italy are most likely much smaller than in the United States.
578464570In the United States, say gasoline costs consumers about $2.50 per gallon. In Italy, say it costs consumers about $6 per gallon. What effect does this price differential likely have on the use of public transportation in the United States and in Italy?Italians likely use public transportation more than Americans use it.
578464571In the United States, say gasoline costs consumers about $2.50 per gallon. In Italy, say it costs consumers about $6 per gallon. What effect does this price differential likely have on the fuel efficiency of cars in the United States and in Italy?The cars in Italy are most likely more fuel efficient than in the United States.
578464572In the United States, say gasoline costs consumers about $2.50 per gallon. In Italy, say it costs consumers about $6 per gallon. What would be the effect of raising the price of gasoline in the United States to $4 per gallon?It will decrease the size of cars driven in the U.S., increase U.S. use of public transportation, and increase the fuel efficiency of cars purchased in the U.S.
578464573In most developing countries, there are long lines of taxis at airports, and these taxis often wait two or three hours. What does this tell you about the price in that market?Price is above equilibrium. There is an excess supply .
578464574Define the fallacy of composition. How does it affect the supply/demand model?The fallacy of composition is the false assumption that what is true for a part will also be true for the whole. It affects the supply/demand model by drawing our attention to the possibility that supply and demand are interdependent. Feedback effects must be taken into account to make the analysis complete.
578464575State whether supply/demand analysis used without significant modification is suitable to assess the impact of an increase in the demand for pencils on the price of pencils.Yes
578464576State whether supply/demand analysis used without significant modification is suitable to assess the impact of an increase in the supply of labor on the quantity of labor demanded.No
