Front

Where is the genetic code located in the DNA?

Back

The genetic code is located in the nucleotide in DNA.

Front

What is the optimal temperature for enzyme activity based on a graph?

Back

The optimal temperature for this enzyme is 30°C.

Front

If a homozygous dominant person has children with a homozygous recessive person, what percent of the offspring will have the same condition affecting bone formation?

Back

100% of the offspring will have the condition.

Front

What organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

The mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the purpose of enzymes in biological reactions?

Back

Enzymes speed up reactions.

Front

Define nucleotide.

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles that produce energy through cellular respiration.

Front

Explain the difference between dominant and recessive alleles.

Back

Dominant alleles express their trait even if only one copy is present, while recessive alleles require two copies to express their trait.

Front

What is the function of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions, thus speeding them up.

Front

What is the significance of the optimal temperature for enzyme activity?

Back

The optimal temperature is the temperature at which an enzyme functions most efficiently.
