1

Which statement below BEST summarizes the role of the DNA molecule in cells

provides the instructions for making proteins

New cards
2

Given the sequence of DNA nucleotide bases TTAGCCTTG, give the complementary strand of mRNA produced during transcription.

AAUCGGAAC

New cards
3

the part of the cell that makes proteins.

Ribosomes

New cards
4

_______________ produce proteins by following coded instructions that come from the nucleus of the cell.

Ribosomes

New cards
5

The sequence of ________________ in a DNA molecule determines the protein that will be produced

nucleotides

New cards
6

Proteins are**********

transported to other parts of the cell by the endoplasmic reticulum from ribosomes.**********

New cards
7

During DNA replication, what would be the complementary strand to the original DNA segment of GCTAAT

CGATTA

New cards
8

The molecular sequence, or blueprint for a protein, is originally carried by which molecule

DNA

New cards
9

A single strand of DNA contains the following nine nucleotides in this order: ACT TAT GGA. What sequence of bases will be present on the complementary strand of DNA?

TGA ATA CCT

New cards
10

Without ribosomes, a cell would not produce

proteins

New cards
11

if the RNA molecule in a human has the nucleotide sequence of GUU, this would indicate that the amino acid valine would be needed to make the protein. How would this change if this process was occurring in a mushroom?

there would be no change; GUU always codes for valine

New cards
12

If we compare the genetic codes of the four organisms seen here, which statement is MOST accurate?**********

All four organisms have exactly the same components in their DNA, but it varies in number and sequence*********.

New cards
13

A typical human cell expresses only about 5% of its genes at any time. The expression of a gene can be regulated during any step in the transition from a gene to a protein. In each step, there is a control point where the gene can be turned on or turned off. The gene expression can direct embryonic development during cellular differentiation in an embryo. The proteins responsible for the regulation are called

enzymes

New cards
14

Cells undergo differentiation during embyonic development. An individual skin cell develops differently from a muscle cell because

the cells express different genes

New cards
15

Josh notices that the frog he is dissecting has many different types of tissues and cells. The cells are different due to***********

different gene expression***********

New cards
16

Cells that have differentiated still have most of their genes and they*********

can still express those genes.*********

New cards
17

Cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. This process is controlled by

gene expression.

New cards
18

Cell differentiation is governed by genes. Depending on where in the body it is located, a given gene can be turned off, weakly on, or strongly on. For example, the gene for globin, which composes hemoglobin, is strongly on in cells that will mature into red blood cells and off in every other cell type.

Cells control gene expression by using molecular tags that lure an enzyme to insure the transcription of certain genes. They also use tags that repel the same enzyme for genes that are turned off. The enzyme that controls the transcription is

RNA polymerase

New cards
19

Transcription involves three major phases in the order of initiation, elongation, and termination. What best describes the transcription process?************

First, the recognition and binding of the gene by the RNA polymerase. Second, the polymerase starts transcription. Third, the polymerase completes the transcription of the gene and terminates the transcriptition************

New cards
20

Which organism does both the steps of gene expression, transcription and translation, occur simultaneously

Prokaryotes

New cards
21

DNA is the template to make

RNA

New cards
22

the process of synthesizing RNA from DNA is

Transcription

New cards
23

The DNA helix unzips itself by braking the

Hydrogen Bounds

New cards
24

What signals the polypeptide chain to stop adding amino acids

mrna stop codon

New cards
25

What carries the three unpaired bases that are collectively called the anticodon

trna

New cards
26

The decoding of an mRNA message into a protein is a process called

translation

New cards
27

The central dogma of molecular biology is that

information is transferred from DNA to RNA to protein.

New cards
28

An important discovery of molecular biology is the near-universal nature of the genetic code. The genetic code is universal in all of the following ways except

D. the genetic code transfers information from RNA to proteins to DNA.

New cards
29

The way in which DNA, RNA, and proteins are involved in putting genetic information into action in living cells is known as

A. gene expression

New cards
30

Gene expression is a highly regulated process that is directly involved with all of the following except

lysosomes.

New cards
31

Which of the following uses the sequence of codons in mRNA to assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains

Ribosomes
