Questão 9
Questão
The organic bases form the structural backbone of DNA
Questão 10
Questão
What is the function of DNA?
Questão 11
Questão
How is the DNA molecule adapted to carry out its functions? (4 points)
Responda
-
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.
Questão 12
Responda
-
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
Questão 13
Questão
What are introns?
Questão 14
Questão
The triplet code can be read in either direction of the DNA strand
Questão 15
Questão
The start of a sequence of the triplet code is always the same: the amino acid 'methionine'.
Questão 16
Questão
Stop codes are triplet codes that don't code for an amino acid, but the end of a polypeptide chain.
Questão 17
Questão
The triplet code is only specific to humans.
Questão 18
Questão
Prokaryotic cells don't have chromosomes as their DNA molecules are smaller and not associated with protein molecules
Questão 19
Questão
Chromosomes are visible all the time.
Questão 20
Questão
The DNA helix is wound around proteins to hold it in position.
Questão 21
Questão
A chromosome contains a single molecule of DNA.
Questão 22
Questão
How many chromosomes do humans have?
Questão 23
Questão
A homologous pair of chromosomes determine the same genetic characteristics.
Questão 24
Questão
What are different forms of a gene called?
Responda
-
alleles
-
chromosomes
-
haploid cells
