BIOE 206 Exam 1 Study Guide 2024 BIOE 206 [Author name] [Date] BIOE 206 How does information flow? From DNA to RNA to protein What information is central to modern biotechnology? The use of methods to study and manipulate information about the central dogma. What is the exception to the central dogma? The transcription of RNA into DNA using reverse transcriptase. How does the cycle of the central dogma work? Instructions of DNA are transcribed onto messenger RNA. The ribosomes are able to read the genetic information inscribed on a strange of the messenger RNA and use this information to string amino acids together into a protein. What stabilizes the DNA double helix? H-bonding, ionic interactions and H -
bonding with water, and stacking interactions. What are more stable: G -C or A -T base pairs? Why? G-C is more stable because it has more hydrogen bonds, which creates a stronger resistance to denaturation. What is melting temperature (Tm)? The temperature at which half of duplex DNA strands are denatured. How is genomic DNA in the eukaryotic nucleus packaged? Genomic DNA in the eukaryotic nucleus is hierarchically packaged by histones into chromatin to fit inside the nucleus. What executes most of the functions in a cell? Proteins
