Chapter 17: From Gene to Protein Flashcards

Terms : Hide Images
667155687Gene Expression-the DNA-directed synthesis of proteins (or RNAs), includes two stages, called transcription and translation
667155688A. Garrod-first suggested that genes determine phenotype through the action of enzymes, reasoning that inherited disease were caused by an inability to make certain enzymes
667155689G. Beadle and E. Tatum's Experiment-worked with mutants of a bread mold, Neurospora crassa, in order to demonstrate the relationship between genes and enzymes -did this by growing nutritional mutants on complete growth medium and then transferring samples to various combinations of minimal medium and one added nutrient -they were able to identify the specific metabolic defect for each mutant -From the growth patterns of the mutants, they deduced that each mutant was unable to carry out one step in the pathway for synthesizing arginine, presumably because it lacked the necessary enzyme -Because each of their mutants was mutated in a single gene, they concluded that each mutated gene must normally dictate the production of one enzyme -Their results supported the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis and also confirmed the arginine pathyway
667155690Difference between RNA and DNA(1) The sugar component of its nucleotides is ribose, rather than deoxyribose (2) Uracil (U) replaces thymine as one of its nitrogenous bases (3) Usually single stranded
667155691Transcription-the synthesis of RNA on a DNA template -the transfer of information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) or another type of RNA, using the "language" of nucleic acids -making mRNA -synthesis of complementary RNA strand -RNA polymerase
667155692Messenger RNA (mRNA)-a type of RNA, synthesized from DNA, that attaches to ribosomes in the cytoplasm and specifies the primary structure of a protein -carries information specifying amino acid sequences of proteins from DNA to ribosomes
667155693Translation-the synthesis of a polypeptide using the genetic information encoded in an mRNA molecule -there is a change in "language" from nucleotides to amino acids
667155694Ribosomes-the sites of translation-the synthesis of a polypeptide -a cell organelle constructed in the nucleolus and functioning as the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm; consists of rRNA and protein molecules, which make up two subunits -facilitate the specific pairing of tRNA anticodons with mRNA codons during protein synthesis -all are identical, whether they are free ribosomes that synthesize cytosolic proteins or ER-bound that make membrane and secretory proteins
667757711RNA Processing-modification of RNA before it leaves the nucleus, a process unique to eukaryotes
667757712Primary Transcript-an initial RNA transcript; also called pre-mRNA when transcribed from a protein-coding gene -serves as a precursor to mRNA, rRNA, or tRNA, before being processed by splicing or cleavage -some intron RNA acts as a ribozyme, catalyzing its own splicing
667757713Triplet Code-a set of three-nucleotide-long words that specify the amino acids for polypeptide chains
667757714Template Strand-the DNA strand that provides the template for ordering the sequence of nucleotides in an RNA transcript -transcribed DNA strand
671031763Coding Strand-untranscribed DNA strand -same sequence as RNA
667757715Codons-a three-nucleotide sequence of DNA or mRNA that specifies a articular amino acid or termination signal; the basic unit of the genetic code -read in the 5' to 3' direction
667757716Reading Frame-the way a cell's mRNA-translating machinery groups the mRNA nucleotides into codons -the nucleotide sequence on mRNA is read starting at a start codon and reading each triplet sequentially
667757717Promoter-a specific nucleotide sequence in DNA that binds RNA polymerase and indicates where to start transcribing DNA
667757718RNA polymerase-an enzyme that links together the growing chain of ribonucleotides during transcription -untwists the double helix, exposing DNA nucleotides for base pairing with RNA nucleotides, and joins the nucleotides to the 3' end of the growing polymer
667757719Terminator-in prokaryotes, a special sequence of nucleotides in DNA that marks the end on a gene -it signals RNA polymerase to release the newly made RNA molecule, which then departs from the gene
667757720Transcription Unit-a region of a DNA molecule that is transcribed into a an RNA molecule
667757721TATA Box-a promoter DNA sequence crucial in forming the transcription initiation complex
667757722Transcription Factors-regulatory proteins that bind to DNA and stimulates transcription of specific genes -bind to promoter region -suite of proteins which bind to DNA -turn on or ff transcription -trigger the binding of RNA polymerase to DNA
667757723Transcription Initiation Complex-the completed assembly of transcription factors and RNA polymerase bound to the promoter
667757724Poly-A tail-the modified end of the 3' end of an mRNA molecule consisting of the addition of some 50 to 250 adenine nucleotides
6677577255' cap-the 5' end of a pre-mRNA molecule modified by the addition of a cap of guanine nucleotide
667879719Intron-a noncoding intervening sequence within a eukaryotic gene -some are involved in regulating gene activity, and splicing is necessary for the export of mRNA from the nucleus -may facilitate recombination of exons between different alleles or even between different genes
667879720Exons-a coding region of a eukaryotic gene -are separated from each other by introns -expressed in protein synthesis
667879721RNA Splicing-the removal of noncoding proteins (introns) of the RNA molecule after initial synthesis
668284307snRNP-small nuclear ribonucleoproteins
668284308snRNA (Small Nuclear RNA)-small nuclear RNA -function may be catalytic in intron removal -plays structural and catalytic roles in spliceosomes, the complexes of protein and RNA that splice pre-mRNA
668284309Splicesome-a complex assembly that interacts with the ends of an RNA intron in splicing RNA, releasing the intron and joining the two adjacent exons -snips an intron out of the RNA transcript and connects the adjoining exons
668284310Ribozymes-RNA molecules that act as enzymes
668284311Properties of RNA that allows them to function as enzymes(1) It is single-stranded and can base-pair with itself, forming a specific three-dimensional structure (2) Some of its bases contain functional groups that can participate in catalysis (3) It can hydrogen-bond with other nucleic acid molecules, allowing it to precisely locate slicing regions
668284312Alternative RNA Splicing-allows some genes to produce different polypeptides -a type of regulation at the RNA-processing level in which different mRNA molecules are produced from the same primary transcript, depending on which RNA segments are treated as exons and which as introns
668284313Domains-functional segments of a protein -an independently folding part of a protein
668284314Exon Shuffling-introns may facilitate recombination of exons between different alleles or even between different genes which can result in novel proteins
669180906Transfer RNA (tRNA)-an RNA molecule that functions as an interpreter between nucleic acid and protein language by picking up specific amino acids and recognizing the appropriate codons in the mRNA -serves as adapter molecule in protein synthesis; translates mRNA codons into amino acids
669180907Anticodon-a specialized base triplet at one end of a tRNA molecule that recognizes a particular complementary codon on an mRNA molecule, thus assuring that amino acids are arranged in the sequence prescribed by the transcription of DNA
669180908Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase-an enzyme that joins each amino acid to the correct tRNA to create an aminoacyl tRNA -hydrolysis of ATP drives this process
669180909Wobble-a violation of the base-pairing rules in that the third nucleotide (5' end) of a tRNA anitcodon can form hydrogen bonds with more than one kind of base in the third position (3' end) of a codon -thus, one tRNA can recognize more than one mRNA codon, all of which code for the same amino acid carried by that tRNA
669180910Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-the most abundant type of RNA, which together with proteins forms the structure of ribosomes -ribosomes coordinate the sequential coupling tRNA molecules to mRNA codons -plays catalytic (ribozyme) roles and structural roles in ribosomes
669180911What are the three stages of protein synthesis?(1) Initiation (2) Elongation (3) Termination
669180912Initiation Stage of Translation1) A small ribosomal subunit binds to both mRNA and a specific initiator tRNA, which carries the amino acid methionine 2) The small subunit then moves, or scans, downstreamalong the mRNA until it reaches the start codon, AUG, which signals the start of translation; this is important because it establishes the codon reading frame for the mRNA 3) The initiator tRNA, already associated with the complex, then hydrogen bonds with the start codon. 4) The union of mRNA, initiator tRNA, and a small ribosomal subunit is followed by the attachment of a large ribosomal subunit, completing a translation initiation complex -proteins called initiation factors are required to bring all these componets together -the cell also spends energy in the form of a GTP molecule to form the initiation complex 5)At the completion of the initiation process, the initiator tRNA sits in the P site of the ribosome, and the vacant A site is ready for the next aminoacyl tRNA
669180913Elongation of Translation-amino acids are added one by one to the preceding amino acid; each addition involves the participation of several proteins called elongation factors and occurs in a three step cycle: 1) Codon Recognition-The anticodon of an incoming aminoacyl tRNA base-pairs with the complementary mRNA codon in the A site. Hydrolysis of GTP increases the accuracy and effieciency of this step 2) Peptide Bond Formation. An rRNA molecule of the large subunit catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between the new amino acid in the A site and the carboxyl end of the growing polypeptide in the P site. This step attaches the polypeptide to the tRNA in the A site. 3) Translocation the ribosome translocates the tRNA in the A site to the P site. The empty tRNA in the P site is moved to the E site, where it is released. The mRNA moves along with its bound tRNAs, bringing the next codon to be translated into the A site.
669970708Termination of Translation1)When a ribosome reaches a stop codon on mRNA, the A site of the ribosome accepts a protein called a release factor instead of tRNA 2) The release factor hydrolyzes the bond between the tRNA in the P site and the last amino acid of the polypeptide chain. The polypeptide is thus freed from the ribosome. 3) The two ribosomal subunits and the other components of the assembly dissociate.
669970709Release Factor-a protein that binds directly to the stop codon on the A site during termination -causes the addition of a water molecule instead of an amino acid to the polypeptide chain
669970710Polyribosomes (or polysomes)-an aggregation of several ribosomes attached to one messenger RNA molecule
669970711Post-translational Modifications-amino acids may be chemically modified; one or more amino acids at the beginning of the chain may be enzymatically removed; segments of the polypeptide may be excised; or several polypeptides may associate into a quaternary structure
671031764Signal Peptide-a stretch of amino acids on a polypeptide that targets the protein to a specific destination in a eukaryotic cell -a sequence of about 20 amino acids at or near the leading (amino) end of the polypeptide
671031765Signal-Recognition Particle (SRP)-a protein-RNA complex that recognizes a signal peptide as it emerges from the ribosome
671031766SRP RNA-a component of the signal-recognition particle (SRP), -the protein-RNA complex that recognizes the signal peptides of polypeptides targeted to the ER
671031767Small Nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)-aids in processing of pre-rRNA transcripts for ribosome subunit formation in the nucleolus
671031768Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA)-are involved in regulation of gene expression
671031769Prokaryote Genes-DNA in cytoplasm -circular chromosome -naked DNA -no introns
671031770Eukaryote Genes-DNA in nucleus -linear chromosomes -DNA wound on histone proteins -introns vs. exons
671031771Translation in Prokaryotes-transcription and translation are simultaneous in bacteria -DNA is in cytoplasm -no mRNA editing -ribosomes read mRNa as it is being transcribed
671031772Translation: Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes-time and physical separation between processes-takes eukaryote about 1 hour from DNA to protein -no RNA processing
671031773Mutations-changes in the genetic information of a cell (or virus), ultimately creating genetic diversity
671031774Point Mutations-a change in a gene at a single nucleotide pair
671031775Base Pair Substitution-a type of point mutation -the replacement of one nucleotide and its partner in the complementary DNA strand by another pair of nucleotides
671031776Missense-the most common type of mutation -a base pair substitution in which the new codon makes sense in that it still codes for an amino acid
671031777Nonsense-a mutation that changes an amino acid codon to one of three stop codons, resulting in a shorter and usually nonfunctional protein
671031778Insertion-a mutation involving the addition of one or more nucleotide pairs to a gene
671031779Deletions-a mutational loss of one or more nucleotide pairs from a gene
671031780Frameshift Mutation-a mutation occurring when the umber of nucleotides inserted or deleted is not a multiple of three, resulting in the improper grouping of the following nucleotides into codons
671031781Mutagen-a chemical or physical agent such as X-rays and UV light that interacts with DNA and causes a mutation
671036676Spontaneous Mutations-include base-pair substitutions, insertions, deletions, and longer mutations that occur during DNA replication, repair, or recombination

611268230AutotrophsAn organism that obtains organic food molecules without eating other organisms or substances derived from other organisms; Autotrophs use energy from the sun or from the oxidation of inorganic substances to make organic molecules (e.g. glucose) from inorganic ones (water and carbon dioxide). - e.g. plants and photosynthesis.
611268231HeterotrophsOrganisms that can only get the organic molecules and energy necessary for life through the consumption of other organic matter. In the food web, all consumers and decomposers are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores.
611268232anabolic processesConsumes energy (endothermic) to create a complex molecule from simple ones (e.g. photosynthesis).

611268235Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)E available immediately to do work. nitrogenous base, ribose, 3 phosphate functional groups; there is a high energy bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups. It can readily transfer that last phosphate group to many other molecules inside cells.
611268236Glucose Catabolismtransfer of E from glucose to ATP occurs in two stages: glycolysis and cellular respiration
611268237Glycolysisanaerobic process occuring in the cytoplasm in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of (3C's) pyruvate and two net ATP are produced
611268238Net rxn of GlycolysisNET: Glucose + 2ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ --> 2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2H2O Total E output of 4 ATP (via substrate level phosphorylation), but only 2 net bc 2 ATP required for rxn to go.

611268242Fate of PyruvateAerobic Organisms (use oxygen to survive):cellular respiration (ETC) Anaerobic Organisms: fermentation (alcohol or lactic acid fermentation)
611268243FermentationIncludes all the steps of glycolysis + reduction of pyruvate (from the oxidation of NADH to NAD+). Allows us to reform NAD+ so that it may be recycled and glycolysis may continue.
611268244Alcohol FermentationGlycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvate to carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. - occurs in yeast and some bacteria Pyruvate (3C) --> CO2 + Acetaldehyde (2C) Acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ --> Ethanol (2C) + NAD+
611268245Lactic Acid Fermentationseries of anaerobic chemical reactions in which pyruvic acid uses NADH to form lactic acid and NAD+, which is then used in glycolysis; supplies energy when oxygen for aerobic respiration is scarce. - occurs in some fungi and bateria;also in mammalian muscle cells.
611268246Net Rxn for Lactic Acid FermentationPyruvate (3C) + NADH + H+ --> Lactic Acid + NAD+
611268247Cori CycleThe process by which accumulated lactate from anaerobic lactic acid fermentation is shuttled to the liver to be converted back to pyruvate and then to glucose and returned to muscle. The Cori cycle provides a means to deal with the pyruvate that accumulates during anaerobic glycolysis; Net loss of 4 ATP.
611268248oxygen debtamount of oxygen required to oxidize lactic acid produced anaerobically during strenuous muscle activity.
611268249Cellular RespirationThe aerobic harvesting of energy from food molecules (carbs, fats and amino acids) such as glucose, and the storage of potential energy in a form that cells can use to perform work (ATP); involves glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation (the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis). - net: 36-38 ATP
611268250Step 1: Pyruvate Decarboxylation1st step of aerobic respiration in which pyruvate is transferred from cytoplasm to mitochondrial matrix where it loses a CO2. - Acetyl remains (2C) and is bound to coenzyme A (acetyl CoA
611268251Net Rxn for Pyruvate DecarboxylationNet: 2 Pyruvate (3C) + 2 CoA + 2 NAD+ --> 2 NADH + 2 acetyl-CoA (2C) + 2 CO2 (1C)
611268252Citric Acid Cyclea chemical cycle involving eight steps that completes the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules begun in glycolysis by oxidizing acetyl CoA (2C - derived from pyruvate) with oxaloacetate (4C - regenerated at end of cycle) to 2 carbon dioxide ; - occurs within the mitochondrion in eukaryotic cells and in the cytosol of prokaryotes; - together with pyruvate oxidation, the second major stage in cellular respiration. - Generates high E e-s carried in NADH and FADH2 for use in the ETC; - aka Krebs Cycle and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) - Each turn (2turns/glucose) generates 1 ATP (in the form of GTP - via substrate-level phosphorylation), 3 NADH, 1 FADH2,
611268253Net Rxn Kreb Cycle2 Acetyl CoA + 6 NAD+ + 2 FAD + 2 GDP + 2 Pi + 4 H2O --> 4 CO2 + 6 NADH + 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP + 4 H+ + 2CoA
611268254Substrate-Level PhosphorylationThe formation of ATP by an enzyme directly transferring a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism; - occurs during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
611268255Electron Transport ChainProcess involving a series of enzyme complexes (cytochromes - contain central Fe ion) found along the inner mitochondrial membrane, the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts and the plasma membrane in prokaryotes . - NADH and FADH2 are oxidized by tehse enzymes; the electrons are shuttled down the chain and are ultimately passed to oxygen and to produce water. The electron energy is used to pump H+ out of the mitochondrial membrane; the resulting H+ gradient is subsequently used to drive the production of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.
611268256NADH Pathway in ETC- Complex I: hands of e-s to FMN - passed to Carrier Q (ubiquinone) - Complex III - passed to cytochrome c - Complex IV: protein cytochrome a3 passes to oxygen along with 2 H+ to make H2O - 1 NADH generates 3 ATP (exception: in cytoplasm aka in glycolysis, 1 NADH = 2ATP)
611268257FADH2 pathway in ETCComplex II aka succinate Q oxidoreductase passes to carrier Q - rest is the same as NADH - less d traveled so less E generated; 2 ATP per FADH2
611268258Final e- Acceptor in ETCOxygen; 2H+ + 2e- + 1/2 O2 --> H2O
611268259ETC disrupted by Cyanide and DNPCyanide: blocks the final transfer of e-s to O2 DNP: destroys mitochondria's ability to creat H+ gradient
611268260ATP generation and the Proton Pumpreduced carries give up e-s and H+ are passed into matrix; accumulate and are pumped out into intermembrane space via complexes. gradient drives H+ passively back across inner mitochondrial membrane into the mito matrix (proton-motive force) via channels, enzyme complex aka ATP synthase, E is released and phosphorylation of ADP back to ATP occurs (oxidative phosporylation0.

357599305Election of 1912Democrats - Woodrow Wilson. The Democrats had a strong progressive platform that called for stronger antirust laws, banking reform, and tariff reductions. Republicans - Taft.
357599306New NationalismSince TR wasn't selected at the GOP nomination for president, he entered as a 3rd party and had New Nationalism be his platform in the 1912 election. New Nationalism campaigned for stronger control of trusts, woman suffrage, and programs of social welfare.
357599307New Freedom1912 Election, Woodrow Wilson (D)'s platform. favored small enterprise, entrepreneurship, and the free functioning of unregulated and unmonopolized markets. Democrats shunned the social-welfare programs and supported the fragmentation of trusts.
357599308"the triple wall of privilege"President Wilson called for an "all-out war" on tariffs, banks, and trusts.
357730897Underwood Tariff BillPassed in 1913, after Wilson convinced congress to pass it. It significantly reduced the tariff rates., It was also the first ever implementation of a graduated income tax on incomes $3000+ (See 16th Amendment)
35804425616th AmendmentAmendment to the United States Constitution (1913) gave Congress the power to tax income.
358044257Federal Reserve Act.a 1913 law that set up a system of federal banks and gave government the power to control the money supply. Under this law, the Federal Reserve Board was created, which had its members appointed by the president. They oversaw the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks.
358044258Federal Reserve Notespaper currency issued by the fed that eventually replaced all other types of federal currency - issued by the Federal Reserve Board. Thus, the amount of money in circulation could be increased as needed for the requirements of business.
358044259Federal Trade Commission Act of 191Authorized a presidentially-appointed commission to oversee industries engaged in interstate commerce, such as the meatpackers. The commissioners were expected to crush monopolies at the source.
358044260Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914Strengthened the Sherman Act's list of business practices that were deemed objectionable.This law outlawed interlocking directorates (companies in which the same people served as directors), forbade policies that created monopolies, and made corporate officers responsible for antitrust violations. Benefitting labor, it declared that unions were not conspiracies in restraint of trade and outlawed the use of injunctions in labor disputes unless they were necessary to protect property. The significance of the event is that the labors were able to get power and they were able have some kind of voice because the monopoly in the nation was getting weaker.
358044261Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916made loans available to farmers at low rates of interest.
358044262Warehouse Act of 1916Authorized loans on the security of staple crops.

358044267Louis D. Brandeisthe first Jew to be a Supreme Court justice nominated by President Wilson
358044268What were Wilsons views on foreign policy?President Wilson was an anti-imperialist and withdrew from aggressive foreign policy.
358321952Hay-Pauncefote Treaty(TR) , negotiations with Colombia, six mile strip of land in Panama, $10 million, US could dig canal without British involvement
358321953Panama Canal Tolls Act of 1912,A Bill that was repealed in 1914 by Wilson.. The act was accused of being unfair to Britain because the US was exempt from all trading tolls but they weren't and
358321954Jones Act 1916granted Phillipines territorial status and promised independence as soon as stable government was achieved
358321955What happened in Haiti in 1915? And what did Wilson do to protect them?Political turmoil broke out -- Wilson dispatched marines to protect American lives and property. In 1916, he signed a treaty with Haiti providing for U.S. supervision of finances and the police.
358321956How did Wilson expand the Caribbean holdings?He purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917
358321957What was happening in mexico under Wilson's presidency?The Mexican Revolution in 1913 -- the president was murdered and replaced with General Victoriano Huerta. Many immigrants moved to America
358321958Wilson initially didn't want to get involved with Mexico. What made Wilson decide to get involved with the Mexican revolution?A small party of American sailors were accidentally captured by the Mexicans so Wilson ordered the navy to seize the Mexican port of Vera Cruz.
358321959Venustiano CarranzaThe successor of Huerta, President of Mexico after Huerta was overthrown
358321960Francisco Villa"Pancho villa" -- attempted to provoke a war between Mexico and the U.S by killing Americans. He was a rival of Carranza
358321961General John J. Perishingunsucessful campaign against pancho villa. Perishing was sent by Wilson to mexico to break up Villa's band of outlaws but then retreated once the US faced Germany as a threat for war
358637907How did WWI start?Franz Ferdinand, Archiduke and heir to the Austria-Hungary throne, was killed by Serbians while in Bosnia trying to strengthen their loyalty. An outraged Vienna government, backed by Germany, presented an ultimatum to Serbia. Serbia, backed by Russia, refused to budge. Russia began to mobilize its army, alarming Germany on the east, and France confronted Germany on the west.
358637908Central PowersGermany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Ottoman Empire
358637909Allied PowersGreat Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and later the US
358637910What did President Wilson issue when there was a declaration of WWI?A neutrality agreement, saying the US would not involve itself -- 1914
358637911What was the American attitude towards Germany at the beginning WWI?Most Americans were anti-Germany from the outset of the war. Kaiser Wilhelm II, the leader of Germany, seemed the embodiment of arrogant autocracy. Yet, the majority of Americans were against war.
358637912Kaiser Wilhelm IIwas the Kaiser of Germany at the time of the First World War reigning from 1888-1918. He pushed for a more aggressive foreign policy by means of colonies and a strong navy to compete with Britain. His actions added to the growing tensions in pre-1914 Europe.
358637913Explain the impact of WWI on American Industries at the beginning of the warAmerican industry prospered off trade with the Allies. Germany and the Central Powers protested American trading with the Allies, although America wasn't breaking the international neutrality laws -- Germany was free to trade with the U.S., but Britain prevented this trade by controlling the Atlantic Ocean by which Germany had to cross in order to trade with the U.S.
358637914LusitaniaSunk in 1915 by a German submarine. It was a British Ship but had aboard 128 Americans, who were killed. Forced Germany to stop submarine warfare.
358637915What was the "American" response after the sinking of Lusitania?The american people demanded war but Wilson still didn't want to enter the war
358637916Arabic1915 -- The second British ship that Germany sunk
358637917SussexThe third French ship that Germany sunk
358637918What did Wilson do after Germany sink the Sussex?Wilson informed the Germans that unless they renounced the inhuman practice of sinking merchant ships without warning, he would break diplomatic relations, leading to war.
358637919Election of 1916Republicans chose Charles Evans Hughes. Democrats chose Woodrow Wilson on an anti-war campaign. He won.
