| 14*. According to the Chargaff s rule if the DNA of a certain organism has cytosine as 30% of its bases, then what percentage of its bases would be adenine? | 20% |
| 19*. The function of the promoter is | to signal the RNA polymerase where to start transcribing the DNA |
| 23*. Stop codon : | signals the end of protein synthesis |
| 31.* Which method is utilized by euk to control their gene expression that is not used by prok. | 'A&B only': Control of chromatin remodeling; Control of RNA splicing |
| 40*. Dideoxy nucleotides used in DNA sequencing lack __ atoms in 2' and 3' of their ribose sugar. | oxygen (NOT carbon or hydrogen) |
| 1.Egg and sperm, involved in sexual reproduction, are formed through a process called | meiosis. |
| 2. Somatic cells of roundworms have four chromosomes. How many chromosomes would you find in an ovum from a roundworm? | two |
| 3. Sister chromatids separate during | anaphase. |
| 4. Meiosis involves the creation of haploid cells from diploid cells. The haploid chromosome number is created when | homologous chromosomes separate. |
| 5. What can you infer from the karyotype shown in Figure 12.1? | This is a karyotype of a male. |
| 6. Asexual reproduction takes place by which of the following processes? | mitosis |
| 7. The chromosomes that are of the same size and carry similar genes are called | homologs |
| 8. What is the ratio of phenotypes in the offspring produced by the cross Aa x Aa? Assume complete dominance for the trait. | 75% dominant: 25% recessive |
| 9. According to the Law of Segregation, in an organism with the genotype Aa | half the gametes will have A and half will have a |
| 10. A recessive gene is one whose effect is masked by a dominant allele. | false |
| 11. If the allele for active lactase enzyme (L. is dominant to the allele for inactive lactase (1), the cross LI x 11 is expected to produce | 1/2 with active and 1/2 with inactive lactase |
| 12. The polypeptide encoded by mRNA CCCAUGCCCCUGUUUUGA has how many amino acids? Hint: UGA is the stop codon in the gene encoding this mRNA. AUG encodes the initiator methionine | 4 |
| 13. For a eukaryotic chromosome, which of the following is true? | RNAs of different genes can be transcribed off either DNA strand, but are always made 5'-3' |
| 15. ___ transport amino acids to ribosomes | tRNAs |
| 16. Synthesis of Okazaki fragments is required for both leading and lagging strands of a DNA molecule during their replications | false |
| 17. Complementary DNA base pairs are held together by | hydrogen bonds |
| 18. HIV, the virus causing AIDS, has the ability of making DNA from the viral RNA using its own enzyme known as reverse transcriptase | true |
| 20. Which occurs in the nucleus | transcription and replication of genetic material |
| 21. The anticodon for AUC is | UAG |
| 22. Find the mismatch | transcription is protein synthesis |
| 24. Exons are regions of the DNA that code for the amino acids of a protein | true |
| 25. Which of the following processes is central to the initiation of transcription? | Binding of sigma to the promoter region |
| 26. Which of the following is(are. post-transcriptional modifications occurring in eukaryotic mRNAs? | all: addition of poly A tail, alternative splicing, addition of methyl-guanosine cap |
| 27. Post-translational modifications include all of the following except | removal of introns |
| 28. Full induction of the lac operon occurs when __ | lactose levels are high and glucose levels are low |
| 29. A group of genes that are regulated together and transcribed into a single mRNA is | operon |
| 30. CAP is said to be responsible for positive regulation of lac operon because | CAP bound to the CAP binding site increases the frequency of transcription initiation |
| 32. The regulatory transcription factor bind to | enhancer |
| 33. Which of the following allows more than one type of protein to be produced from one gene? | alternative forms of RNA splicing |
| 34. Which of the followings is considered epigenetic modification? | Acetylation |

| 36. Restriction enzymes are: | Proteins made by bacteria and capable of digesting DNA at specific sequences |
| 37. The polymerase chain reaction is a method to __ | Both B&C:making millions of copies of a small amount of DNA and making gene copies quite rapidly. NOT for analyzing fingerprints. |
| 38. Which of the following describe the various steps of PCR? | denaturation, annealing, extension (NOT 'all of the above') |
| 39. Many identical copies of genes cloned in bacteria are produced as a result of | A&B only: plasmid & bacterial cell replication |
