Three Quiz Molecular

Simple

Complex

• Endoglucanase - opens polymer chain
• Cellobiohydrolase - cuts sections with 10 or more glucose units
• Exaglucanase- cuts into dimers and trimers
• Beta-Glucosidase- convert dimers and trimers to glucose (inside organism)

Genetic engineering to modify the metabolic pathways of an organism

• Alcohol dehydrogenase
• Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase

• Recombinant bacteria is used now
• Animal pancreas was used

An obligatory parasite that can't reproduce itself without a living host.

Cytoplasm

• Outer protein shell (capsid)
• Inner core viral genome (either DNA or RNA)

• Attachment (adheres to hosts surface)
• Penetration (enzyme creates hole, endocytosis)
• Synthesis (Viral DNA transcribed and translated)
• Assembly (subunits join, genetic information packaged)
• Release (cell may burst or viruses bud from cell over time)

• Replication
• Coat protein
• Lysis

Circular naked DNA molecules

• Bidirectional
• Rolling circle

Nucleic acids in charge of controlling their own replication

Jumping genes without the ability of self replicating

• Terminal Inverted Repeats
• A gene for transposition

Jumping genes that replicate through an RNA intermediate

• Short Interspersed Sequences (SINS)
• Long Interspersed Sequences (LINS)

Intervening sequences of protein which are spliced out during making the actual functional protein

Make the final functional protein

Those DNA that ahve properties of retroposons, SINS and LINS

When selfish DNA are disabled of replication or movement
