FLASHCARD Genetics Midpoint Assessment

Front

Which student has the most accurate cause-effect chain model based on what we know so far?

Back

Student A

Front

What are some of the functions that proteins have that support life?

Back

All of these: hold muscle cells together, doing small jobs inside cells, help the cell wall function.

Front

What would you need to include in a model showing the STRUCTURE & FUNCTION of dystrophin?

Back

All of these should be included: the molecular structure of the dystrophin protein, how and where the dystrophin molecule attaches to muscle, a side by side view comparing a large healthy muscle and small muscle with DMD.

Front

Why do individuals with DMD still suffer from muscle breakdown even if they consume the same foods we consume?

Back

All of these: creatine kinase leaks out of the muscle fibers due to constant tearing as muscles contract, too much calcium gets in, binds to protease and attacks good proteins, tears in the muscle fibers fill with fat and scar tissue.

Front

What are the individual molecules (monomers) that make up proteins during the process of translation?

Back

amino acids

Front

What determines a protein's structure and function?

Back
