Pregunta 9
Pregunta
The organic bases form the structural backbone of DNA
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
What is the function of DNA?
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
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?
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
The triplet code can be read in either direction of the DNA strand
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
The start of a sequence of the triplet code is always the same: the amino acid 'methionine'.
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
Stop codes are triplet codes that don't code for an amino acid, but the end of a polypeptide chain.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
The triplet code is only specific to humans.
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
Prokaryotic cells don't have chromosomes as their DNA molecules are smaller and not associated with protein molecules
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
Chromosomes are visible all the time.
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
The DNA helix is wound around proteins to hold it in position.
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
A chromosome contains a single molecule of DNA.
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
How many chromosomes do humans have?
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
A homologous pair of chromosomes determine the same genetic characteristics.
Pregunta 24
Pregunta
What are different forms of a gene called?
Respuesta
-
alleles
-
chromosomes
-
haploid cells
