Describe two major differences between DNA and RNA. (2 points) 7. Inverted repeats can give rise to stem-loops. a. Show this by giving the sequence of a double-stranded DNA containing an inverted repeat and show how the transcript can form a stem loop. (1 point) b. Does the sequence 5’-GCACGGCACG-3’ contain an inverted repeat? Explain. (1 point) 8. Look at the single strand of DNA depicted at the right. (6 points) a. What is the direction of the single strand shown below? b. What would be the direction of the complementary strand? c. What number carbon atom are the bases attached to? d. Circle one of the deoxyribose molecules. e. Indicate one of the phosphodiester bonds with an arrow. f. Would the strand shown be a leading strand during replication? 2 9. What enzymatic activity, in addition to polymerization, is associated with DNA polymerase III and how does it reduce errors during DNA replication? (2 point) 10. Describe the basic principles of gene amplification using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (2 points) 11. The haploid genome of the causative agent of gonorrhea, Neisseria gonorrhea, is a bacterium that contains 2220 kilobase pairs. If 85% of this DNA molecules is made up of open reading frames of genes and the average protein is 300 amino acids long, how many protein-encoding genes does Neisseria have? (2 points). 3
