MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
Each 3-base sequence of DNA/RNA code stands for one ____________.
Gene
Protein
Amino Acid
Nucleotide
Answer explanation
Each 3-base sequence, or codon, in DNA/RNA corresponds to a specific amino acid, which are the building blocks of proteins. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Amino Acid'.

Match the enzyme to the job it performs
RNA polymerase
Unzips the DNA double helix
DNA polymerase
Adds new DNA nucleotides during DNA replication
Helicase
Adds new RNA nucleotides during transcription
7.
MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
Which of these enzymes would not be used during DNA replication?
Helicase
DNA polymerase
RNA polymerase
Answer explanation
RNA polymerase is not involved in DNA replication; it synthesizes RNA during transcription. In contrast, helicase unwinds the DNA and DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands.
