Test 1 1. Polypeptide starts on a free ribosome. In the first step‚ the signal sequence emerges from the ribosome and binds to the SRP‚ which stops further translocation until the SRP-ribosome-nascent chain complex can make contact with the ER membrane. The SRP-ribosome then binds to an SRP receptor within the ER membrane during step 2. In the third step SRP is released and the association of the ribosome with a translocon of the ER membrane occurs. These latter events are accompanied by the reciprocal

Introduction to Computers What is Computer Science? Computer Science or Computer Studies is the study of how a computer works from inside‚ how it connects with other computers and how information is spread from one place to another through technology. HARDWARE REQUIRED IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM What is a computer? A computer is a hardware machine which under the control of software performs instructions to do an action. The computer main function is to process data. What is hardware? Hardware are all

10.1.3 CROSSING OVER Outline the process of crossing over in : Meiosis 1: • Prophase I - homologous chromosomes are paired up tightly into tetrads‚ then crossing over‚ the exchange of genetic material between the DNA in these tetrads occurs‚ forming a chiasmata‚ an x-shaped structure. • Metaphase I - paired chromosomes line up along the equator of a cell‚ the metaphase plate as the spindle microtubulue apparatus pulls them. • Anaphase I - The spindle microtubules pull homologous chromosomes

Introduction: * Genetics are composed of five main areas: DNA replication‚ meiosis‚ reproduction‚ adaptation and evolution. The body is composed of 46 chromosomes (23 from your mother and 23 of your father). The genes are in your cells in the nucleus and some in the mitochondria. The genes are a small part of a long molecule called DNA. DNA is a double stranded molecule (sugar‚ phosphate and four different bases: Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine and Guanine). The bases in the DNA are

What Shapes an Ecosystem? Ecosystems are made up of: * Biotic factors- all living parts of an ecosystem (plants‚ animals‚ bacteria) * Abiotic factors- all nonliving (but natural) parts of an ecosystem (soil‚ wind‚ water) These factors together (biotic and abiotic) determine which types of organisms can live in that particular ecosystem. A habitat- the place where an organism lives- includes both biotic and abiotic factors A niche includes both the habitat of an organism and its unique

Unit 8 Textbook Notes 12.1 The N2O4-NO2 Equilibrium System When you put a sample of N2O4‚ a colorless gas‚ in a closed container at 100C a reddish-brown color starts to show. This is due to NO2 formed by the decomp. of part of the original substance. The forward and reverse reactions are taking place at the same rate. The concentrations of species present remain constant with time. These concentrations are independent of the direction from which equilibrium is approached. The equilibrium constant
