BIOLOGY NOTES MONDAY 17, 2014 (CHAPTER 11) 6 Characteristics of cancerous cells Grow when should not Continue to grow when other cells send ?stop? signals When change in their DNA, Apoptosis doesn?t occur Can co-opt vascular system creating new blood vessels Immortal (MOST IMPORTANT) Can metastasis, which moving to other parts Mutations in 2 types of genes cause cancer Positive growth regulators Negative growth regulators Explain how the mutations cause runaway all proliferation More positive growth, results in hyperactivity Uncontrolled cell division, No brakes 2 types of genes Proto-oncogene- Normal Function- Promote cell division (code for positive growth regulator) Mutation- Runaway cell division causing hyperactivity

Biology, 7e (Campbell) Chapter 17: From Gene to Protein 7) Which of the following represents a similarity between RNA and DNA? D) nucleotides consisting of a phosphate, sugar, and nitrogenous base 9) Using RNA as a template for protein synthesis instead of translating proteins directly from the DNA is advantageous for the cell because B) RNA acts as an expendable copy of the genetic material, allowing the DNA to serve as a permanent, pristine repository of the genetic material. C) many mRNA molecules can be transcribed from a single gene, increasing the potential rate of gene expression. D) B and C only

Chapter 25 Phylogeny and Systematics Overview: Investigating the Tree of Life This chapter describes how biologists trace phylogeny The evolutionary history of a species or group of related species Biologists draw on the fossil record Which provides information about ancient organisms Figure 25.1 Biologists also use systematics As an analytical approach to understanding the diversity and relationships of organisms, both present-day and extinct Currently, systematists use Morphological, biochemical, and molecular comparisons to infer evolutionary relationships Figure 25.2 Concept 25.1: Phylogenies are based on common ancestries inferred from fossil, morphological, and molecular evidence The Fossil Record Sedimentary rocks Are the richest source of fossils

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 20 Biotechnology The new questions in Chapter 20 cover all of the chapter?s concepts and are primarily at the higher skill levels. In addition, the chapter presents several scenarios that are accompanied by a series of questions. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) Assume that you are trying to insert a gene into a plasmid. Someone gives you a preparation of genomic DNA that has been cut with restriction enzyme X. The gene you wish to insert has sites on both ends for cutting by restriction enzyme Y. You have a plasmid with a single site for Y, but not for X. Your strategy should be to A) insert the fragments cut with restriction enzyme X directly into the plasmid without cutting the plasmid.
