| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In sickle cell anemia, the defective hemoglobin differs from the normal hemoglobin by | a single amino acid substitution. |
| If a human female has two Barr bodies, it is almost certain that | she developed from a fertilized egg with 3 X chromosomes. |
| The geneticist who discovered the white eye mutation in Drosophila and helped establish that genes are carried on chromosomes was | Morgan. |
| The classic experiments performed by Creighton and McClintock in Maize | provided evidence for the physical exchange of genetic material. |
| Humans who have lost even one copy of an autosome are called | monosomics. |
| In Drosophila, dosage compensation is controlled by the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex consisting of MSL proteins and roX RNAs. Based on what you know about dosage compensation, the role of the MSL complex would be to | INCREASE the level of expression on the X chromosome approximately 2 fold. |
| The "one gene-one enzyme" hypothesis was proposed by | Beadle and Tatum. |
| The nucleotide sequence of a mRNA codon is composed of how many bases? | 3 |
| Replication of DNA is | semiconservative. |
| Which of the following is not a component of nucleic acids? | protein |
| In 1952, Hershey and Chase confirmed Avery's (1944) results that | DNA was the repository for hereditary information. |
| If a short sequence of DNA is AATTGCCGT, its complement is | TTAACGGCA. |
| What problem is overcome by the presence of more than one promoter element? | The orientation of transcription can be established. |
| The tRNA nucleotide sequence that lines up on the mRNA is | an anticodon. |
| The hereditary information in DNA is conveyed through the | production of many proteins and polypeptides. |
| The chemical bond connecting one nucleotide with the next one along the nucleic acid chain is called a | phosphodiester bond. |
| As the two strands of DNA are unraveled, an enzyme relieves the strain on the two strands. The enzyme is | DNA gyrase. |
| Which of the following is not a component of nucleic acids? | protein |
| Eukaryotic mRNA molecules are occasionally interspersed with non-coding sequences that must be removed before protein synthesis. These are called | introns. |
| A bacteriophage typically attaches to the bacterium and then | injects its nucleic acid into it, and then the ghost virus stays outside. |
| Each amino acid has a specific tRNA molecule that can transport it to the site of protein synthesis. Therefore, in humans the number of different tRNA molecules would be | 20. |
| Avery and his coworkers showed the "transforming principle" as | DNA. |
| Because nucleic acid sequence information is changed into amino acid sequence information, polypeptide synthesis is known as | translation. |
| The method of DNA replication, where each original strand is used as a template to build a new strand, is called the | semiconservative method. |
| The double helix model was proposed by | Watson and Crick. |
