What is the function of DNA and what are its building blocks?

Fill in the Blank

The process by which a cell divides into ___ new cells is called cell division.

Multiple Select

Which of the following are reasons why cells divide?

• To grow by producing more cells

• To repair damaged tissue

• To increase the size of each cell

• To remove wastes efficiently

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle?

• G1 is for DNA synthesis, G2 is for cell growth

• G1 is for cell growth, G2 is for preparation for mitosis

• G1 is for mitosis, G2 is for cytokinesis

• G1 is for chromosome duplication, G2 is for chromosome separation

Multiple Choice

Which phase of the cell cycle is responsible for DNA synthesis?

• G1 phase

• S phase

Multiple Choice

Which of the following steps must occur before DNA can be replicated?

• The DNA must unwind and separate between the nitrogen bases.

• The cell must divide.

• The chromosomes must condense.

• The nuclear membrane must dissolve.

Multiple Choice

Where does DNA replication take place within a cell?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

• Ribosome

Multiple Choice

What is the function of the replication fork during DNA replication?

• It is the Y-shaped region where the DNA double helix splits into two strands for copying.

• It is the enzyme that adds nucleotides to the new DNA strand.

• It is the process of joining Okazaki fragments.

• It is the region where DNA is transcribed into RNA.

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements about DNA replication are correct?

• Each new DNA strand consists of one parent strand and one new strand.

• DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to both strands.

• The replication fork is where the DNA double helix splits.

• Okazaki fragments are formed on the leading strand.

Multiple Choice

What is the result of DNA replication?

• Two new strands of identical DNA are formed.

• One new strand and one old strand are formed.

• The DNA is split into four new strands.

• No new DNA is formed.
