What is DNA
Doxyribonucleic Acid which is the genetic material in genes
|
What is RNA
Ribonucleic Acid that occurs after DNA replication
|
What is a carb
A macromolecule that stores short term energy
|
What is genetic engineering?
Modifying genetic materials to change the organism
|
What is adhesion?
water molecules sticking to other objects
|
What is the process of replication
DNA makes a copy of itself to be used for transcription
|
What is the job of rRNA?
Uses the genetic code and amino acids to build a protein
|
What is a protein
Macromolecules that contain amino acids
|
What is CRISPR?
Technology that can isolated DNA material and add or remove it to recreate genetic coding
|
What is cohesion?
water molecules building off each other
|
What is the process of transcription
When DNA has separated itself into 1 strand of RNA
|
What is the job of tRNA?
Transfers amino Acids to be used to create the protein
|
What is a lipid
Fats in the body that store long term energy
|
What are some pros of genetic engineering?
Fight disease, cure cancer, live longer, repair the body
|
What happens when you add pennies to a full cup of water?
Water molecules build on each other because of cohesion to create surface tension that allows pennies to be added without easily overflowing the cup
|
What is the process of translation
When RNA is translating the DNA code in a protein
|
What is the job of mRNA?
Carried the genetic blueprint (instructions) for the protein
|
What is a term for the "backbone" of a molecule?
Alpha Carbon
|
What are some cons of genetic engineering?
ethics could be violated, creates separation in social economic status, can be sold and used in black market, takes away individuality
|
Why is water so versatile?
It can be a solid, liquid, or gas and is essential for organism survival
|
What is the base pairing codes for the following sequence: ATGCCGAATGTCA
TACGGCTTACAGT
|
What are the matching base pairs for this sequence? AAGACTAGATC
UUCUGAUCUAG
|
Explain what lactose intolerance is
Lactose is an enzyme that humans were not predispositioned to have but evolutionaraly acquired. Intolerance is when the lactose enzyme is missing or lessened making it difficult to process
|
What implication can genetic engineering have on society?
It can lead to major scientific and medical breakthroughs but can also violate serious ethical issues
|
Explain the components of H20
1 hydrogen and 2 oxygen
