Biology EOC Review - Unit 6 - DNA

Front

What is the sequence of events leading to the formation of a protein?

Back

DNA → RNA → amino acids → protein

Front

What are the identical sequences of bases in DNA replication?

Back

Strands 2 and 4 have identical sequences.

Front

What is DNA fingerprinting used for?

Back

It allows us to compare species to determine their evolutionary relationships.

Front

What is the benefit of genetically modified crops?

Back

They allow us to feed more people with less land by increasing crop yields.

Front

How can mutations in genes lead to cancer?

Back

Uncontrolled cell division could result in tumor formation.

Front

What is the average time for one complete cell cycle in normal chicken cells?

Back

22 hours.

Front

How do cancerous chicken cells differ in cell cycle duration?

Back

Cancerous chicken cells will complete mitosis in a shorter amount of time.

Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of amino acids in protein formation?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is the significance of DNA replication?

Back

It ensures that each new cell receives an exact copy of the DNA.
