Cell Biology Concepts Pt. 3

Front

Differences in traits

Back

Differences in traits mean there is a different sequence of nucleotides.

Front

Translation process

Back

Translation translates the genetic code into a specific sequence of amino acids.

Front

Role of cells in gene expression

Back

Cells perform specialized activities by the regulation of gene expression.

Front

Gene expression

Back

Gene expression is a regulated process.

Front

Silent mutation

Back

Silent mutation involves substituting one base for another, but the amino acid stays the same.

Front

Duplication mutation

Back

Duplication involves copying one part of the chromosome, resulting in two of the same, which results in errors.

Front

Insertion mutation

Back

Insertion involves the adding of base(s).

Front

Substitution mutation

Back

Substitution involves changing only one base, which results in only one amino acid that changes.
