Question 1 Answer
B
Clue:3’5’
Semi Conservative process
of DNA Replication
The parent molecule has
two complementary
strands of DNA. Each base
is paired by hydrogen
bonding with its specific
partner, A with T and G
with C.
The first step in replication
is separation of the two
DNA strands.
Each parental strand now
serves as a template that
determines the order of
nucleotides along a new,
complementary strand.

Math Grid In Answer
• The correct answer is: around 5,500 bp
Acceptable range is: 5,300 – 5, 800 bp
• HindIII RFLPS = 4,500 and 1,000 = 5,500 bp
• EcoRI = 5,500 bp (This plasmid only cut once;
so the DNA strand is one
linear piece.)
Hind + Eco = 4,500 + 800 + 200 = 5,500 bp

• Possible points awarded for:
• Discussion of point mutations being one
nucleotide altered in the DNA
sequence.(1pt.)This will cause a possible change
in the Amino Acid coded for in the protein. (1
pt.)
• Discussion of reading frame mutations being an
addition or deletion of a nucleotide(s)to the
existing DNA sequence. (1 pt.) This will cause all
the reading frame codons to be altered down
Point Mutation
(A single point is changed)
Reading Frame Mutations
(Everything behind is changed)
Short Free Response 2
(4 points possible)
Possible points awarded for:
Discussion of using the same restriction enzyme
on both the plasmid and the human DNA
source.(1 pt.)
Discussion of the restriction enzyme creating
matching sticky ends on each DNA strand. (1pt.)
Discussion of the DNA pieces being combined
using ligase to solidify the connects. (1 pt.)
Discussion of the recombined plasmid being
inserted back into the bacteria. (1pt.)
