Question 1. What is modern cell biology? - An integrated discipline that includes cell culture, microscopy, molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry. Question 2. What is gene ontology? - A major bioinformatics initiative to unify the representation of gene and gene product (i.e. proteins and RNA) attributes. The project includes development of a controlled vocabulary of a protein's attributes. Question 3. What are the three domains of gene ontology? Briefly describe them. - Cellular ...

What are 3 defining characteristics of Hexapoda? - 3 pairs of uniramous legs, 1 antennae pair, 3 tagmata (head, thorax, abdomen) What are 2 adaptations Hexapoda have developed for terrestrial existence? - A hard waxy cuticle to reduce water loss, and excretory and respiratory systems to preserve moisture. Write out the following statement about the excretory system of Hexapoda and fill in the missing terms: The Hexapoda excretory system contains ___ ___ attached to the ___ system. These tub...

What is the working definition of an animal? - Animals are multicellular eukaryotes that are heterotrophic and undergo a blastula stage Two problems associated with morphological classification? - 1. Convergent evolution 2. Minor mutations Why was the organism found in the 90s labelled as a bivalve mollusc? - Because it was consuming bivalve eggs and had traces of their DNA in its gut. What are some problems with molecular sequencing? - 1. Differences in mitochondrial and nuclear DNA ...

BIOL2200 Midsemester Exam | 100% Correct Answers | Verified | Latest 2024 Version What is the DNA -> RNA process? - RNA polymerase I creates a transcript. This is primary RNA with 5' cap and 3' with poly(a) site. Maturation of RNA includes cleaving at the poly(a) site and RNA splicing of introns to leave matureRNA. What is the mRNA to protein process? - Codons run through ribosome in 3 base pairs. A corresponding tRNA recognises 3 base pair and brings with it conjugate bases and an AA...
