Mutations/Protein Synthesis/Punnett Squares Practice

Which sequence of DNA bases would pair with this partial strand
ATG TGA CAG

• ATG TGA CAG
• TAC ACT GTC
• GTA AGT GAC
• CAT TCA CTG

Which of the following best describes a DNA molecule?

• double helix
• contains ribose
• made of amino acids
• contains Uracil

Which of the following units are repeatedly joined together to form a strand of DNA?

• amino acids
• nucleotides
• fatty acids
• polysaccharides

What mutation has occurred here? 
T-G-A-C-C-A
T-G-A-G-C-A

• Substitution
• Deletion
• Insertion
• Frameshift 

Would a mutation in the DNA of a skin cell be passed on to an organism's offspring?

• Yes, because any change to the DNA is passed on to the offspring
• Maybe. Sex cells only use half of the body's genetic code. It might get the copy of a gene that wasn't mutated.
• No. Only mutations that occur in the gametes (sex cells) are passed on to the offspring
• Without knowing the animal, it would be hard to tell whether or not the mutation would be passed on.

What amino acid is represented by the codon UUA?

• Phenylalanine
• Tyrosine
• Leucine
• Stop codon
