Molecular exam 2

syntenic genes

genes located on the same chromosome

Linked genes are

2 syntenic genes that CAN NOT sort independently

nonrecombinant chromosomes

Also called parental chromosomes. these are chromosomes that do not reshuffle

recombinant chromosomes

crossover of systenic genes

the further systemic genes are from one another.....

the frequency of crossover increases

Topoisomerase

relax supercoiling (helps separate into SSD)

Helicase (DnaB)

unwinds the double helix

SSB

single stranded binding proteins that prevent reannealing of separate strands

Primase (DnaG)

synthesis of RNA primer

DNA polymerase III

synthesizes new DNA only in the 5' to 3' direction

DNA pol I

removes the RNA primer and replaces it with DNA

DNA ligase

an enzyme that eventually joins the sugar-phosphate backbones of the Okazaki fragments
