What is the structure of a DNA molecule?
Respuesta
  • helical
  • double helix
  • pleated sheet

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
What three components is a nucleotide of DNA made up of?
Respuesta
  • a variable group
  • a phosphate group
  • a deoxyribose sugar
  • an organic base (C, T, A or G)
  • a hydrocarbon

Pregunta 4

Respuesta
  • C
  • G
  • A
  • T

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
DNA is made up of two strands of polynucleotides. How do the nucleotides join to become polynucleotides?
Respuesta
  • Hydrogen bonds
  • Condensation Reaction between phosphate group of one nucleotide and deoxyribose of another.
  • Polar attraction

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Which base does cytosine pair with?
Respuesta
  • adenine
  • thymine
  • guanine

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
What base does thymine pair with?
Respuesta
  • adenine?
  • guanine?
  • cytosine?

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
The organic bases form the structural backbone of DNA
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
What is the function of DNA?
Respuesta
  • To pass genetic information from cell to cell and generation to generation.
  • To provide energy for the cell.
  • To make organic bases.

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
How is the DNA molecule adapted to carry out its functions? (4 points)
Respuesta
  • It is very stable and can pass from generation to generation without changing.
  • It is flexible so can be easily changed.
  • It's two strands are only joined with H bonds which allow them to separate for DNA replication.
  • The two strands are joined with H bonds that are strong and prevent the strands from separating.
  • The molecule is extremely large so carries an immense amount of genetic information.
  • The structural backbone protects the genetic information from corruption.
  • The molecule is very small so lots of them can fit in a small space.

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
What is a gene?
Respuesta
  • A sequence of DNA bases that determines a polypeptide (a sequence of amino acids).
  • A molecule that contains all the genetic information of a cell.
  • A substance made up of DNA

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
What are introns?
Respuesta
  • Sections of DNA that don't code for amino acids.
  • Amino acids.
  • Three bases that code for an amino acid.

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
The triplet code can be read in either direction of the DNA strand
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
The start of a sequence of the triplet code is always the same: the amino acid 'methionine'.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
Stop codes are triplet codes that don't code for an amino acid, but the end of a polypeptide chain.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
The triplet code is only specific to humans.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
Prokaryotic cells don't have chromosomes as their DNA molecules are smaller and not associated with protein molecules
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
Chromosomes are visible all the time.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
The DNA helix is wound around proteins to hold it in position.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 21

Pregunta
A chromosome contains a single molecule of DNA.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 22

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • 78
  • 46
  • 23
  • 48

Pregunta 23

Pregunta
A homologous pair of chromosomes determine the same genetic characteristics.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 24

Pregunta
What are different forms of a gene called?
Respuesta
  • alleles
  • chromosomes
  • haploid cells
