Document Summary

Problems #2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 14, 24, 25, 39, 42. Genes are located on chromosomes (chromosomes are single long molecules with two strands of dna and are bound by many proteins). Chromosomes in reproducing organisms will appear in pairs called. Polyploidy: contain more than two copies of each chromosome. Cytoplasmic inheritance: identify the random distribution of mitochondria and chloroplasts. Hydrogen bonds: noncovalent bonds made of weak electrostatic attractions. Reverse transcription: is when you synthesize dna from rna template in rna containing viruses. Transcriptomics: study of transcriptome; transcriptome is the set of all messenger rna molecules in one cell or a population of cells; complete set of genes that undergo transcription in a given cell. Metabolomics: study of chemical processes involving metabolites, metabolic processes in specific cells, tissues. Proteomics: study of the proteome; complete set of proteins encoded in a genome and their functions and regulation. Evolution: says that all organisms related by a common ancestry and diversify over time.
