Chapter 10 investigation analysis and conclusion
1. How many nucleotides did the original DNA model contain?
The original DNA model contained approximately 12 nucleotides in each double helix.
2. Write the base-pair order for the DNA molecule you created using the following code:
red=adenine, blue-guanine, yellow=cytosine, and green= thymine.
Guanine-Yellow
Adenine-Thymine
Thymine-Adenine
Cytosine-Guanine
Guanine-Cytosine
Cytosine-Guanine
Guanine-Cytosine
Cytosine-Guanine
Thymine- Adenine
Adenine- Green
Adenine-Thymine
Thymine- Adenine
3. What is the name given to the point where replication starts on a DNA molecule?
The Replication Fork is the point at which two chains of DNA start to separate.
4. How does the replicated model of DNA compare to the original model of DNA?
The second part of the DNA is the complete opposite of the first original DNA.
5. What would the complementary bases be if one side of a DNA molecule had the bases adenine,
cytosine, cytosine, thymine, thymine, and adenine?
Adenine-Thymine
Cytosine- Guanine
Cytosine- Guanine
Thymine-Adenine
Thymine-Adenine
Adenine-Thymine
6. Speculate about what would happen if the nucleotide pairs in the replicated model were not in
the same sequence as the original model.
If the nucleotide pairs in the replicated model were not in the same sequence as the original
model, the replicated model would have become mutated or useless.
7. Write the mRNA transcription of the DNA sequence presented below.CTG TTC ATA ATT
CTG-GAC
TTC-AAG
ATA-TAT
ATT-TAA
8. If you transcribed the “wrong” side of the DNA molecule, what would the result be?
If somehow the wrong side of the DNA is transcribed wrong, the DNA could become ineffective
and would not be of any use for the body.
9. What are the advantages of having DNA remain in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells?
The DNA can be split into three parts and if one part of the DNA is damaged and no longer
useful, the rest of the parts can survive for a bit longer, at least for the information to be fully
copied and not disappear forever.
