A) The hydrogen bonding among backbone constituents carries coded information. B) The amino acids that make up the DNA molecule contain the information needed to make cellular proteins. 1 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. C) The base sequence of DNA carries all the information needed to code for mRNA and eventually for proteins. Answer: C 6) What is the difference between the leading strand and the lagging strand in DNA replication? A) The leading strand is synthesized in the 3′→5′ direction in a discontinuous fashion, while the lagging strand is synthesized in the 5′→3′ direction in a continuous fashion. B) The leading strand requires an RNA primer, whereas the lagging strand does not. C) The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5′→3′ direction, while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the 5′→3′ direction. D) There are different DNA polymerases involved in elongation of the leading strand and the lagging strand. Answer: C Figure 14.2 7) Identify the leading strand during duplication of DNA in Figure 14.2.

A) the enzyme that converts the precursor to ornithine B) the enzyme that converts ornithine to citrulline C) the enzyme that converts citrulline to arginine D) the enzyme that converts the precursor to citrulline Answer: C 10) In the process of translation, _____. A) DNA is replicated B) RNA is synthesized C) proteins are synthesized Answer: C 11) Under which conditions would it post-translational control be useful? And what would be the downside of this? A) Post-translational control doesn’t cost a lot of energy, and is useful when a high efficiency of control is required. The downside is that it is relatively slow. B) Post-translational control is very fast and is useful when a quick response to a changing environment is required. The downside is that it requires a lot of energy. Ans: B 12) Codons, the three base sequences that code for specific amino acids, are part of _____.
