| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The transfer of genes from parents to their offspring is known as | heredity |
| Hereditary traits are transmitted from generation to generation by means of | specific sequences of bases in DNA in reproductive cells |
| In all organisms,the coded instructions for specifying the characteristics of the organism are directly determined by the arrangement of the | four types of molecular bases in the genes |
| A certain protein is found in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacteria. This provides evidence that plants and bacteria | have some similar DNA base sequences |
| Genes involved in the production of abnormal red blood cells have an abnormal sequence of | bases |
| Which statement best describes the relationship between cells, DNA and proteins? | Cells contain DNA that controls the production of proteins |
| Three structures are represented in the diagram below...(PHOTO OF PROTEIN cell DNA) What is the relationship between these three structures? | DNA controls the production of protein in the cell. |
| The diagram below represents a protion of an organic molecule (PHOTO TCGA) This molecule controls cellular activity by directing the synthesis of | Proteins |
| The diagram below represents an incomplete section of a DNA molecule. The boxes represent unidentified bases. What will be the total number of bases represented by the letter A (both inside and outside the boxes) when the boxes are completely filled in? | 3 |
| One disadvantage of a genetic mutation in a human skin cell is that it | may result in the production of a defective protein |
| A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is NOT characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule | can replicate itself |
| Which nuclear process is represented below? DNA molecule untwists-2 strands of DNA separate-Molecular bases pair up-2 identical DNA molecules are produced | replication |
| The diagram below shows some of the steps in protein synthesis. (PHOTO) The section of DNA being used to make the strand of mRNA is known as a | gene |
