ANS: B Nucleotides are the subunits of nucleic acids like DNA. DNA coils around histone proteins to form chromosomes, which are contained in the nucleus of a cell. Feedback A B C D Chromosomes are in the nucleus. That's correct! Check page 329. What is a chromosome made of? PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level B NAT: LS_1c TOP: 12-3 2. ANS: C The process of translation takes place at the ribosomes. REF: 329 | 332 Feedback A B C D This process happens after messenger RNA leaves the nucleus. Where does messenger RNA go when it leaves the nucleus? That's correct! Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level C REF: 338 NAT: LS_1c STA: 3.3 TOP: 12-6 3. ANS: B A tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid corresponding to the anticodon of that tRNA molecule. Feedback A B C D What is the definition of a gene? That's correct! You're on the right track, but the anticodon is located somewhere else on this molecule. DNA does not have uracil as one of its bases. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level C REF: 338 NAT: LS_1c STA: 3.3 TOP: 12-6 4. ANS: A Translation is the process by which the mRNA “template” is used to form polypeptides. Feedback A B C D That's correct! Page 334 shows replication. Check the definition of monoploidy. Is any DNA involved in the pictured process? PTS: 1 NAT: LS_1c 5. ANS: A DIF: Bloom's Level B STA: 3.3 TOP: 12-6 REF: 338 The mRNA “template” and the tRNA molecule are the only RNA structures. I is an anticodon composed of nucleotide bases, III is a polypeptide, and V is an amino acid. Feedback A B C D That's correct! Only one of these is made of RNA. What is an anticodon? These are related to each other, but they are not made of RNA. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level C REF: 336 | 338 NAT: LS_1c STA: 3.3 TOP: 12-6 6. ANS: B The number and identities of the bases in the two sequences are the same except for the substitution of an adenine molecule for a thymine. Feedback A B C D A frameshift mutation changes the number of bases in the sequence. That's correct! Do the two sequences contain the same number of bases? Check page 346 for the definition of a deletion. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level A REF: 345 NAT: LS_2a | LS_2c STA: 3.4 TOP: 12-11 7. ANS: B Deleting a nucleotide causes a frameshift mutation, since the codons following the deletion will code for different amino acids than the original sequence. Feedback A B C D Check the definition of a point mutation on page 345. That's correct! How do you know what effects the mutation has on the whole organism? A protein is simply a polypeptide, or chain of amino acids. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level A REF: 346 NAT: LS_2a | LS_2c STA: 3.4 TOP: 12-11 8. ANS: C Since the reading “frame” is shifted one place, all amino acids after the deletion will be different from the original sequence. Feedback A B C D Protein function is determined by the sequence of amino acids in the protein. Look closely at the codons that follow the mutation. That's correct! Do you see a stop codon? PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level B REF: 346 NAT: LS_2a | LS_2c STA: 3.4 TOP: 12-11 9. ANS: A The deletion of adenine from the beginning of the sequence causes a frameshift mutation. Feedback A B That's correct! Is the number of nucleotides the same in the original and mutated sequences? C D An inversion reverses the order of nucleotides. Review the definition of translation on page 338. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level B REF: 345–346 NAT: LS_2a | LS_2c STA: 3.4 TOP: 12-11 10. ANS: A According to base-pairing rules, the number of purine bases formed must match the number of pyrimidine bases in the parent sequence. Feedback A B C D That's correct! Does uracil occur in DNA? Count the number of purine bases. Review base pairing rules on page 329. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level E REF: 329–330 | 333 NAT: LS_2a STA: 3.1 TOP: 12-2 11. ANS: C The central dogma states that DNA is transcribed to mRNA, which is translated to a sequence of amino acids that form a polypeptide. Feedback A B C D The central dogma starts with DNA. Check page 336. That's correct! What is the difference between transcription and translation? PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level B NAT: LS_1c STA: 3.2 TOP: 12-8 12. ANS: C RNA processing removes introns and adds a poly-A tail. REF: 336–339 Feedback A B C D A tandem repeat is a set of copied codons. Check the definition of exons on page 337. That's correct! Are the nucleotides in the second sequence unrelated to those in the first sequence? PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level D REF: 337 NAT: LS_1c STA: 3.2 TOP: 12-8 13. ANS: B Introns, or intervening sequences, get processed out of the mRNA before it leaves the nucleus, so removal of an intron would probably have little effect on bacterial functions such as enzyme synthesis. Feedback A B C D You're on the right track. That's correct! The promoter is involved in gene regulation. What is a deletion? PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level E NAT: LS_1d | LS_2c STA: 3.4 14. ANS: D REF: 337 TOP: 12-7 The leading strand is formed continuously, but since replication can originate at multiple points along the chromosome, all four enzymes are needed. Feedback A B C D How does the DNA unwind? Check page 334 for hints. You're on the right track. That's correct! PTS: 1 NAT: LS_2a DIF: Bloom's Level E STA: 3.2 TOP: 12-5 REF: 334 PROBLEM 15. ANS: See Solution 12-6. PTS: 1 DIF: Bloom's Level C NAT: LS_1c | LS_2a STA: 3.1 REF: 329–330 | 338 TOP: 12-2
