Unit 11 Genetics quiz science

  • Semiconservative replication

  • DNA polymerase

  • Okazaki fragments

  • Helicase

  • DNA ligase

  • transcription 

  • ribosome 

  • introns & exons

  • codon & anticodon 

  • different types of mutations

  • contrast RNA & DNA

  • RNA differs from DNA in that it is usually single-stranded, contains ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose, and uses uracil in place of thymine.

  • describe protein synthesis (figure 14, p. 303)

    • explain what an operon is and how it functions

    • An operon is a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter, which allows for the coordinated regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes; it typically consists of structural genes, a promoter, and an operator, enabling the bacteria to efficiently respond to environmental changes.
