Hereditary units — definition?
Chromosomes, genes, and alleles are hereditary units.
Mutations — role in evolution?
Mutations introduce genetic variation, driving evolution.
Gene regulation — in prokaryotes?
Occurs mainly at transcription initiation, involving operons.
Gene regulation — in eukaryotes?
Includes post-transcriptional processes like splicing and epigenetics.
Type VI secretion system — regulation?
Regulated genetically, involved in bacterial interactions.
Iron-dependent regulation — in E. coli?
Fur protein binds DNA; methylation affects sci1 gene expression.
Host adaptation — in Ralstonia?
Involves DNA methylation changes, not just genetic mutations.
Post-transcriptional regulation — in eukaryotes?
Includes mRNA maturation and alternative splicing.
RNA editing — effect?
Alters protein function and behavior regulation.
Translational regulation — mechanisms?
Includes small non-coding RNAs affecting translation.
Epigenetic regulation — in eukaryotes?
Histone modifications and DNA methylation control gene expression.
Biotechnologies — types?
Blue, green, red, white; applied in various fields.
Bacterial operons — regulation?
Controlled mainly at transcription initiation by sigma factors.
Chromosome — function?
Stores and organizes genetic material.
Gene — role?
Serves as a hereditary information unit.
Allele — difference?
Different forms of a gene at a specific locus.
Mutations — types?
Substitution, insertion, deletion, inversion, duplication, translocation.
Hereditary disease mutation?
Mutations can disrupt normal gene function, causing disease.
Gene expression regulation — in bacteria?
Operons and sigma factors control transcription initiation.
Gene expression regulation — in eukaryotes?
Post-transcriptional processes and epigenetics diversify expression.
Epigenetic switch — in bacteria?
DNA methylation controls gene expression based on environmental cues.
Molecular determinants — in Ralstonia?
DNA methylation influences host adaptation.
Mutations — inheritance?
Dominant or recessive, controlled by single genes.
Mutations — effect?
Can be neutral, beneficial, or harmful.
