12.  Define genetic drift.  A change in the allele frequency due to a CHANGE event

13.  What is genetic equilibrium?  When the allele frequency stays exactly the same

14.  What is the Hardy-Weinburg Principle?  Large population, no mutations, random mating, no immigration/emigration, no natural selection

2.     How does gene regulation work?

3.     What is the lac operon? What does it make?

4.     What does the repressor do? How?

5.     Can lactase breakdown other sugars?

6.     What is TATA box?

7.     How is gene regulation different in prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes?

8.     What is cell specialization and how does it related to gene regulation?

9.     Define transcription factors.

10.  What are HOX genes?  Give 2 examples of what they might control.

11.  T/F  HOX genes are similar in all living things.

2. Test (protein synthesis)

hwk: none

Tues 1-10-17

1. Short answer part of test

2.  Notes (handout was given yesterday)

3.  test review WS

Key:

RNA	DNA
Single stranded	Double stranded
Has ribose	Has deoxyribose
Has uracil	Has thymine
3 types	1 type

2.  messenger RNA – carries the instructions from the nucleus to the rivosome

3.  ribosomal RNA – makes up the ribosome

4.  transfer RNA – carries the amino acids and drops them off at the right spot (in the growing chain)

5.  Transcription uses DNA as a template to make mRNA, nucleus

6.  A codon is 3 bases (or nucleotides) in mRNA.

7. The mRNA code is read 1 codon at a time, and only in one direction (beginning to end).

8.  Translation is changing from the language of mRNA to protein (the amino acids in the correct order).

9. An anti-codon is part of the tRNA and it bonds with cododn (base pairing) thus bringing in the proper amino acid.

10.  mRNA carries the instructions from nucleus to ribosome (TRANSCRIPTION), rRNA makes up the ribosome, tRNA transfers the aminon acids (TRANSLATION).

OTHER SIDE:

1.     Griffith – transformation (harmless bacteria changed into deadly bacteria)

a.     Avery – process of elimination, N.A. is the genetic molecule

b.     Hershey/Chase – verification that DNA is genetic moleuclue (virus infecting a bacterium)

2.     DNA

3.     It can be copied, read, and used

4.     A monomer of a nucleic acid (5-C sugar, phosphate group, base)

5.     A-T  and C-G

6.     The DNA unzips, the matching base pairs line up on both sides in opposite directions. You end with 2 double strands – each has a new strand and an original strand

7.     Aatttgcat

8.     An abnormality/error in the DNA

9.     Neutral (not harmful nor beneficial)
