CH12 Exam Review:
1. In Avery’s experiments, it was shown that bacteria are transformed by what?
DNA
2. What did Griffith observe when he injected a mixture of heat-killed, disease-causing bacteria and live
harmless bacteria into mice?
The mice developed pneumonia
3. What are the three parts of a nucleotide found in DNA?
Deoxyribose + phosphate group + nitrogenous base (C,G,T,or A)
4. Where is DNA located in eukaryotes?
In the nucleus
5. DNA is copied during what process?
Replication
6. What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?
Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine
7. What sugar does RNA contain?
Ribose
8. What nitrogenous base does RNA contain that DNA does not?
Uracil
9. How many main types of RNA are there?
Three
10. Which types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis?
mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
11. What is produced during transcription?
RNA molecules
12. During transcription, where is an RNA molecule formed?
Inside the nucleus
13. How many codons are needed to specify three amino acids?
Three
14. Genes contain instructions for assembling what?
Proteins
15. What happens during the process of translation?
The cell uses information from mRNA to produce proteins
16. Which type of RNA functions as a blueprint of the genetic code?
mRNA
17. A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called a point mutation.
18. What are the gene mutations listed in your book?
Point mutations and Frameshift mutations
19. What types of mutations are considered frameshift mutations?
20. A codon consists of _____________________ nucleotides.
Three
21. What kind of mutation occurs when part of a chromosome is lost?
Deletion
22. What kind of mutation occurs when extra copies of a chromosome is made?
Duplication
Using the DNA template strand and the genetic code figure in your book, answer the following questions.
DNA TEMPLATE STRAND: TAC
CGT
GCC
TCA
GGG
ATT
23. mRNA strand:
24. Amino Acids:
AUG
GCA
CGG
AGU
CCC
UAA
Methionine, Alanine, Arginine, Serine, Proline, Stop
25. What four mRNA codes to Valine? GUG, GUA, GUC, GUU
26. How many different mRNA codes correspond to Serine? Six
27. What is the complimentary DNA strand for the above DNA template strand?
ATG, GCA, CGG, AGT, CCC, TAA
28. What does the “t”, “r”, and “m” stand for in tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA?
Transfer, Ribosomal, Messenger
29. What codons do not code to an amino acid?
UAA, UAG, UGA
30. List all the types of mutations and define each of them.
Point mutation- changes in one or a few nucleotides
Frameshift mutations- shift the reading frame of the genetic message
Deletion- part of the chromosome is lost
Duplication- extra copies of part of a chromosome are made
Translocation- part of a chromosome breaks of and attaches itself to another chromosome
Inversion- sections of a chromosome are reversed
