Question 11 of 25

1

What rules were created by Erwin Chargaff in the 1940's?

Select one of the following:

  • -nucleotides are not arranged in the same order in all species
    -in all species, the amounts of adenine and thymine in the DNA are always similar, as are the amounts of guanine and cytosine.
    -the amount of adenine plus guanine is always equal to the amount of thymine plus cytosine

  • -nucleotides are not arranged in the same order in all species
    -in all species, the amounts of adenine and thymine in the DNA are always similar, as are the amounts of guanine and cytosine.
    -each genetic code contains 'instructions' for a specific protein

  • -each person has 46 chromosomes, in 23 pairs
    -in all species, the amounts of adenine and thymine in the DNA are always similar, as are the amounts of guanine and cytosine.
    -the amount of adenine plus guanine is always equal to the amount of thymine plus cytosine

  • -the amount of adenine plus guanine is always equal to the amount of thymine plus cytosine
    -DNA determines characteristics
    -each genetic code contains 'instructions' for a specific protein

Explanation

Question 16 of 25

1

Select one of the following:

  • 1968

  • 1869

  • 1986

Explanation

Question 17 of 25

1

What is the term used to describe the copying of DNA?

Select one of the following:

  • copying

  • doubling

  • replication

  • imprinting

Explanation

Question 18 of 25

3

What happens in the process of replication?

Select one or more of the following:

  • 1. the strands of the double helix separate from each other, much like a zip unzipping, leaving the bases exposed

  • 2. the exposed nucleotides pair with the exposed bases

  • 3. the sugar and phosphate molecules bond with neighbouring nucleotides, creating two identical DNA strands

  • 1. the DNA strand is split in half horizontally

  • 2. it is then separated in half, much like a zip unzipping, exposing the bases

  • 3. the bases then replicate and attach to the exposed bases

  • 4. the DNA strands then 'rezip', creating two identical DNA strands
