CH14 vocabulary (part 1)… match the term to the correct definition (hint: copied primarily from quizlets!)  

  The genetic code is essentially the same for all organisms. From this, one can logically assume which of the following statements to be true? (hint: allows us humans to do some cool things in medicine… like producing insulin for diabetics)   

I have the following information for an infusion of Drug MJ2 Cp,1 hr = 0.160 mg/L Cp,5 hr = 0.721 mg/L Cp,10 hr = 1.72 mg/L Cp,ss = 3 mg/L Based on this information, determine the elimination rate constant of MJ2

While at steady-state during an infusion an increase in the volume of distribution of the infused drug

  Which of the following statements correctly describes the structure of chromatin?  

  BONUS #3 Which of the following is most likely to occur if a researcher removes the 5′ cap and poly-A tail of an mRNA and inserts the mRNA molecule into a eukaryotic cell?  

            A testcross performed with F1 dihybrid plants (i.e. looking at two genes, YyRr) results in more parental-type offspring than recombinant-type offspring.  Which of the following statements BEST explains this result?  

  How does DNA replication work?     Experiment:  free nucleotides containing radioactive thymine (T) are added to media containing an actively dividing cell (…and the cell uses these radioactive thymines during the process of DNA replication!).    Which of the following outcomes would be seen after a single cell division?  

  BONUS #4 Accuracy in the translation of mRNA into the primary structure of a polypeptide depends on specificity in the ________.  

  We talked about the regulation of gene expression and how it can happen at different steps.  Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional (= after transcription!) control of gene expression?  (hint:  it’s really important in explaining the complexity found in Homo sapiens!!!)
