Question
Answer
If the DNA in a cell consists of 20% adenine, then it will also contain ____guanine   30%

Oral infections with herpes simplex virus 1 can lie dormant in nerve cells for years. When a patient becomes stressed the virus is released, forming cold sores on the lips. Why would the virus form a cold sore?   to spread to a new host  
🗑
In DNA molecules,   cytosine pairs with guanine  
🗑
Oral infections with herpes simplex virus 1 can lie dormant in nerve cells for years. When a patient becomes stressed the virus is released, forming cold sores on the lips. Whiles lying dormant, the virus is in which of the following states?   latent  
🗑
a tRNA molecule is "bilingual" because it binds to   codons of mRNA and amino acids

the genome of an organism is all of its   generic material  
🗑
the division of the nucleus during the eukaryotic cell cycle is   mitosis  
🗑
sexual reproduction and meiosis generate genetic variability by   random fertilization, crossing over, random alignment  
🗑
what process leads to siblings only sharing, on average, 25% of their genetic material?   random orientation  
🗑
why is it essential that meiosis produce haploid cells?   to prevent the number of chromosomes from doubling each generation  
🗑
if a diploid sperm fertilizes a diploid egg it will produce a ___ zygote   tetraploid  
🗑
Genes A and B are on the same chromosome. What gametes could an individual with the allele combination AABB produce?   AB  
🗑
meiosis is a process that produces   sperm cells, egg cells, gametes, haploid cells  
🗑
people who have a single X chromosome are female, while those with XXY sex chromosomes are males. in order to be a female, a human   cannot have a Y chromosome  
🗑
Chromosomes that look alike and carry the same genes are   homologous chromosomes  
🗑
In studies of the genetic basis of language, FOXP2 sequences differed the most between mice and   humans  
🗑
Proteins that initiate transcription in eukaryotes by recognizing sequences within the promoter region of a gene and attracting RNA polymerase are called:   transcription factors  
🗑
The correct sequence of stages of viral replication is   attachment, penetration, synthesis, assembly, release  
🗑
in a eukaryotic cell, mature mRNA contains   a nucleotide cap, poly A tail, and exons  
🗑
The step of translation in which a mRNA, a small ribosomal subunit, and the initiator tRNA are aligned together is   initiation  
🗑
the double helix of DNA is composed of building blocks called   nucleotides  
🗑
What molecule holds instructions for the synthesis of proteins and copies itself before cell divison   DNA  
🗑
Which is a common cause of cervical cancer   human papillomavirus  
🗑
which of the following is correct about both binary fission and meiosis   both replicate the DNA before the cell splits  
🗑
Eukaryotic chromosomes become visible with a light microscope before cell division because they   become more tightly wound  
🗑
the first sign of cytokinesis in an animal cell is the formation of a   cleavage furrow  
🗑
DNA and its associated proteins in the nucleus is referred to as the   chromatin  
🗑
the correct sequence for the phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle is   interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis  
🗑
The chromosomal designation for a human male is   XY  
🗑
2n is an abbreviation for   diploid  
🗑
If you were looking at a diagram of the male human body and were asked to locate the germ cells, you would point to the   testes  
🗑
if you were told that you would get extra credit for finding a model showing chromosomes separating while sister chromatids were still attached, you would look for a model of   anaphase 1  
🗑
the process by which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material   is crossing over  
🗑
The process that merges the gametes from two parents is   fertilization  
🗑
a cell having one or more complete sets of extra chromosomes is a   polyploid  
🗑
meiotic cell division replicates a cell's DNA ___ and then divides ___   once, twice  
🗑

🗑
An infectious protein is a   prion  
🗑
the step of translation in which amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide is   Elongation  
🗑
The "central dogma" of molecular biology described by Watson and Crick describes   the directional flow of genetic information in cells

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
