Hereditary information; carries
instructions to make proteins
Carries the DNA transcribed code
from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
for translation
Carries the amino acid to the
ribosome during protein synthesis;
contains the anticodon
What ribosomes are made of; site
of protein synthesis, where mRNA is
translated to protein
The copying of a strand of DNA to
pass on information, DNA-DNA
Process of copying DNA into mRNA;
occurs in the nucleus, DNA - mRNA
The subunit of nucleic acids; sugar,
phosphate, base
Part of a nucleotide; four types =
adenine, guanine, cytosine, and
thymine
Used x-ray crystallography; found
DNA shape to be a double helix
Scientist who discovered that traits
can be passed between strains of
bacteria
% Cytosine = % Guanine;
% Adenine = % Thymine
Using info from Franklin & Chargaff;
discovered the structure of DNA
Twisted ladder shape of DNA
Process of producing a protein from
the mRNA copy of DNA; occurs on
ribosome in cytoplasm;
mRNA-protein synthesis
F –TGCTA
G –ACGAT
H –ACGAU
J –UGCUA
15. In eukaryotic cells, the process
indicated by arrow A occurs in the —
F cytoplasm
G ribosome
H nucleus
J cell membrane
16. The diagram shows the normal sequence of
genes in a particular chromosome. Which
chromosome could have resulted from a
deletion that occurred in this chromosome?
20. During meiosis, homologous
chromosomes can exchange DNA in a
process known as —
F replication
G internal fertilization
H cytokinesis
J crossing over
21. Viruses are made up of either DNA or
RNA surrounded by a coating of protein.
When the two main substances that make
up a virus are broken into smaller
fragments, these fragments are —
F fatty acids and amino acids
G amino acids and simple sugars
H amino acids and nucleotides
J fatty acids and glycerol
17. Gametes must be haploid because —
A gametes are small and can hold only the haploid
number of chromosomes
B the gametes’ chromosomes will be replicated
prior to cell division
C two gametes will unite during fertilization to
create a diploid cell
D fertilization results with a haploid zygote
18. Scientists can use genetic information to
identify people because it is unique to each
person. Which specific characteristic is unique
to an individual?
F The shape of the DNA molecules in cells
G The number of chromosomes in each cell
H The sequence of DNA nucleotides in cells
J The size of each chromosome in a cell
22. The model of DNA used today was
proposed by James Watson and Francis
Crick in 1953. In this model, what sequence
of bases would be
complementary to A-G-C-T-A?
F A-G-C-T-A
G C-G-C-A-T
H A-T-C-G-A
J T-C-G-A-T
