DNA replication is a "semi-conservative' process. What does this mean?

The new DNA is made of one old strand and one new strand

What is the name of C?

Deoxyribose Sugar

What is the name of A?

Phosphate Group

What is the name of B?

Nitrogen Base

Complete the Table

R1: UCU, AGA. R2: GCC, GCC, R3: CTG, GAC

Describe the process of protein synthesis that occurs in the cytoplasm

At the ribosome the mRNA codons are matched with tRNA anticodons. This allows the tRNA to deposit the correct amino acid into the polypeptide.

Describe the process of protein synthesis that occurs in the nucleus

RNA polymerase binds to the template DNA strand and synthesises a complementary mRNA strand. Introns are spliced out to form the mature mRNA

This is an image of?

tRNA

What direction is DNA read?

5' to 3'

What are the two most common shapes that make up the secondary structure?

alpha-helix & beta-sheets

Describe the induced fit model

When substrates bind to the active site, the interactions between them cause the enzyme to slightly change shape producing a perfect fit

How do increase reaction rate

By lowering activation energy

Describe how a competitive inhibitor lowers enzyme activity

The inhibitor binds to the active site preventing the substrate from binding

What is this enzymes optimum tempreature?

40 degrees

Explain the cause of the plateau in this enzyme catalysed reaction?

All the enzymes are being used

What effect does methylation have on gene expression

lowers gene expression
