Parents/Guardian –
 I have reviewed my child’s activities
and homework for the week of
11/12/07 – 11/16/07.
 I understand that is important for
me to make sure that my child is
studying to be prepared for the
Quiz on 11/13/07 and 11/27/07
and has completed all
assignments this week.

I understand if my child needs to
retake a quiz that the original
quiz with corrected answers that
has been signed by me must be
brought to class at the
time of the quiz retake and
quiz retakes occur on Tuesdays
or Thursdays either a lunch or
Unit 3 Quiz 3 Nov 27
1. What is the mRNA sequence for
a strand of DNA reading GACATAC?
2. This is a template DNA sequence: 3'AATCGC5'.
This is a partially-completed mRNA strand
transcribed from the DNA template:
3'GCGA5'. What is the next nucleotide that
RNA polymerase will attach?
3. Using DNA sequencing, you discover that a
bacterium has experienced a deletion
mutation that removed three nucleotides.
The bacterium appears completely unaffected
in all its functions. Where is the mostly likely
location for the mutation?
4.
During transcription, an RNA molecule is
formed:
a. Inside the ____________________
b. Is _____________-stranded
c. Is ___________________ to one of
the strands of DNA
5.
Why is it possible for an amino acid to be
specified by more than one kind of codon?
6.
Which type of RNA functions as a blueprint
of the genetic code?
