Chap 12 Study guide Modified True/False: Indicate whether the statement is true or false. If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true. ____ 1. The replication of a DNA molecule results in four copies of the same gene. _________________________ ____ 2. If a nucleic acid contains uracil, it is DNA. _________________________ ____ 3. The three types of RNA are messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and ribosomal RNA. ______________________ Completion: Complete each statement. Figure 12–1 4. The structure labeled X in Figure 12–1 is a(an) ____________________. 5. The Watson and Crick model of DNA is a(an) _________________________, in which two strands are wound around each other. 6. Chromatin contains proteins called ____________________. Figure 12–3 7. In Figure 12–3, A, B, and C are three types of ____________________. 8. During transcription, the _________________________ between base pairs are broken. 9. The order of nitrogenous bases in DNA determines the order of ____________________ in proteins. 10.
