Unit 7: Gene Expression & Protein Synthesis Exam Review

Select the 3 Parts of a DNA Nucleotide.

• Deoxyribose sugar

• Phosphate Group

• Nitrogenous bases A, T, C, G

• Ribose Sugar

• Nitrogenous Bases A, U, C, G

What part of the nucleotide is unique to each individual organism and contains the genetic code?

• Phosphate group

• Sugar

• Nitrogenous base

Replicate the following strand of DNA - ATG - CCC - GCA - TGC - ATT what is the complementary strand?

• UAC-GGG-CGU-ACG-UAA

• TAG-GGG-CGT-ACG-TAA

• TAC-GGG-CGT-ACG-TAA

• TAC-CCG-GCT-ACG-TAA

A multicellular eukaryote begins life as a single cell called a zygote. What happens to the cells as the organism develops?

• The cells remain the same size and function.

• The cells differentiate and become specialized.

• The cells decrease in number.

• The cells lose their ability to divide.

A gene is:

• a section of DNA on a chromosome that contains the instructions for making a protein.

• a specific type of cell in the human body.

• what you wear to keep your legs warm

• the entire DNA sequence that is found in specific cells

Specialized cells within an organism have identical DNA sequences, what happens so that each cell can function differently? (Why do nerve cells function differently than bone cells?)

• Each cell type expresses different genes.

• Each cell type has different DNA sequences.

• Each cell type has different organelles.

• Each cell type has different cell membranes.

Factors that can cause genes within an organism to be expressed or repressed include:

• external influences, such as diet, temperature and light

• chemicals and radiation

• internal factors such as hormones and proteins

• All of these

• Genetic Factors

What are the 3 unique characteristics of RNA that distinguish it from DNA?

• RNA is single-stranded, contains ribose sugar, and uracil instead of thymine.

• RNA is double-stranded, contains deoxyribose sugar, and thymine instead of uracil.

• RNA is single-stranded, contains deoxyribose sugar, and uracil instead of thymine.

• RNA is double-stranded, contains ribose sugar, and uracil instead of thymine.

Transcription is

• the copying of DNA to RNA; happens in the nucleus

• the copying of DNA to RNA; happens in the ribosomes

• RNA to a Protein; happens in the nucleus

• the copying of RNA to DNA; happens in the nucleus
