Chelsea Claverie MCB 1310 February 10, 2015 Exam 1 Review: DNA polymerase ? involved in the replication of DNA, requires a ?primer? to initiate a new strand of DNA, faster at synthesis RNA Polymerase ? involved in transcription of DNA to mRNA, does not require a primer to start a new strand of RNA and will stop transcription with it encounters a stop codon

Gene Regulation in Eukaryotes The latest estimates are that a human cell, a eukaryotic cell, contains some 21,000 genes. Some of these are expressed in all cells all the time. These so-called housekeeping genes are responsible for the routine metabolic functions (e.g. respiration) common to all cells. Some are expressed as a cell enters a particular pathway of differentiation. Some are expressed all the time in only those cells that have differentiated in a particular way. For example, a plasma cell expresses continuously the genes for the antibody it synthesizes. Some are expressed only as conditions around and in the cell change. For example, the arrival of a hormone may turn on (or off) certain genes in that cell.

AP Biology: DNA Replication Lab You will use simulations to demonstrate the structure and replication of DNA in this laboratory exercise. As you have studied, the genetic information for living organisms is stored in the structure of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA). Our DNA molecules carry the genetic code for inherited characteristics in the triplet-coded sequences of its nitrogen bases. Each time a cell divides, its DNA is precisely duplicated (DNA replication) so that the DNA of the cells formed is identical to that of the original cell.

Chapter 18 Genomes and Their Revolution Overview: Reading the Leaves from the Tree of Life ? Complete genome sequences exist for a human, chimpanzee, E. coli and numerous other prokaryotes, corn, fruit fly, house mouse, orangutan, and others ? Comparisons of genomes among organisms provide information about the evolutionary history of genes and taxonomic groups ?Genomics is the study of whole sets of genes and their interactions ? Bioinformatics is the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data Concept 18.1: The Human Genome Project fostered development of faster, less expensive sequencing techniques ? The Human Genome Project officially began in 1990, and the sequencing was largely completed by 2003

Chapter 17: From Gene to Protein Concepts 17.5 ? 6 are not required knowledge from the AP Exam and are intentionally omitted. Overview: The Flow of Genetic Information the information content of DNA is in the form of specific sequences of nucleotides along the DNA strands the DNA inherited by an organism leads to specific traits by dictating the synthesis of proteins the process by which DNA directs protein synthesis, gene expression, includes two stages: transcription and translation the ribosome is part of the cellular machinery for translation, polypeptide synthesis Concept 17.1: Genes specify proteins via transcription and translation Evidence from the Metabolic Defects

Evolution and the Themes of Biology Identify global challenges that may require a biological solution. pollution acid rain / ocean acidification antibiotic-resistant pathogens Describe how an organism?s environmental adaptations result from evolution. individuals best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce more individuals will have these advantageous traits in subsequent generations (if they are heritable) Identify (and give examples) of the different levels of the hierarchy of biology. Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Ursidae Genus: Ursus Species: Ursus Maritimus Describe how the food competition hypothesis (in the context of giraffes? long necks) was not supported by data.

Mendel's Genetics ? Hybridized domesticated horses For thousands of years farmers and herders have been selectively breeding their plants and animals to produce more useful?hybrids?. ? It was somewhat of a hit or miss process since the actual mechanisms governing inheritance were unknown.? Knowledge of these genetic mechanisms finally came as a result of careful laboratory breeding experiments carried out over the last century and a half. ? ? Gregor Mendel???? 1822-1884???
