  • double helix
  • pleated sheet

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

  • T

Questão 6

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

Questão 7

Questão
Which base does cytosine pair with?
Responda
  • adenine
  • thymine
  • guanine

Questão 8

Questão
What base does thymine pair with?
Responda
  • adenine?
  • guanine?
  • cytosine?

Questão 9

Questão
The organic bases form the structural backbone of DNA
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 10

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

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

Questão
What is a gene?
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?
Responda
  • Sections of DNA that don't code for amino acids.
  • Amino acids.
  • Three bases that code for an amino acid.

Questão 14

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

Questão 15

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

Questão 16

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

Questão 17

Questão
The triplet code is only specific to humans.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 18

Questão

Chromosomes are visible all the time.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Responda
  • 78
  • 46
  • 23
  • 48

Questão 23

Questão

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 24

Questão
What are different forms of a gene called?
Responda
  • alleles
  • chromosomes
  • haploid cells
