Review sheet for test B5 – B8 ANWERS DNA review 1. What bonds hold complementary bases between 2 strands of DNA together? Hydrogen bonds 2. What bonds exist between sugars and phosphates? Covalent bonds 3. Describe how DNA is like a ladder. Sides (made of deoxyribose sugare & phosphate) and rungs (made of nitrogenous bases) 4. Explain the 3 steps of DNA replication. 1) DNA helicase unzips DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds that exist between the 2 strands of DNA; 2) DNA polymerase assists with correct placement of incoming DNA nucleotides; 3) DNA polymerase assist with covalently bonding of the backbone of the new strand 5. Why is DNA replication termed “semi-conservative”? has half the parent strand and half is new therefore the parent strand is “half” conserved in each new double helix 6. What role does DNA polymerase play in DNA replication? Covently bonds backbone of new strand and proofreads to ensure correct base pairing 7. Define recombinant DNA. DNA of 2 species combined (therapeutic intent) 8. What is a transgenic organism? Organism with foreign DNA inserted 9. What are 3 uses for recombinant DNA? Bacteria, plants, animals, xenoplantation 10. Explain how gene therapy is used to help those with genetic diseases. What are some problems? Expensive, hard to control placement of insertion, eugenics, can be dangerous to health Protein Synthesis review 11. Describe the process by which mRNA is formed for protein synthesis. DNA opened, complementary RNA nucleotide bind with DNA strand (gene) with the help of RNA polymerase, strand then leaves through nuclear pore and moves into cytoplasm. 12. What is the process called?
