Resource summary

Question 1

What are genetics?
Answer
  • The figure produced when the chromosomes of a species during metaphase are arranged according to their homologous pairs

Question 24

Question
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. It's mRNA sequence would be: cytosine, guanine, thymine, thymine, adenine, cytosine.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 25

Question
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. The mRNA would code for 2 amino acids
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 26

Question
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. The mRNA will have 4 codons.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 27

Question
TRUE OR FALSE:: Suppose a sequence of DNA is: guanine, cytosine, adenine, adenine, thymine, guanine. The tRNA anticodons that bond to the mRNA would be: guanine, cytosine, adenine and adenine, uracil, guanine

Question
If an RNA strand has an anticodon...
Answer
  • It is mRNA
  • It is tRNA
  • It is neither
  • It is both

Question
TRUE OR FALSE:: Protein synthesis in a ribosome is part of translation
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 30

Question
Say scientists discovered a gene that is more prevalent in murderers than in the majority of the public. What can you conclude from that gene?
Answer
  • Murderers have no responsibility for what they do, it's in their genes
  • It is just a genetic trend, not a determining factor
  • You can fight that gene with your choices and environmental and spiritual factors
  • If you have that gene you must be a murderer and there is no hope for you and you are doomed
  • The gene would only establish a genetic trend
