A scientist observes a DNA sequence of AGCTAGCTAGCT.  Which of the following would be the paired strand that completes the DNA molecule?

• TGCATGCATGCA

• TCGATCGATCGA

• TAGCTAGCTAGC

• TTAAGGCCTTCC

Which sequence of DNA bases would pair with this partial strand
CAT TCA CTG

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

What will the first four bases of the new DNA strand look like if copying the template strand?

• TGGT
• ACCA
• GTTG
• CAAC

How would the DNA sequence GCTATA be transcribed to mRNA?

• GCUAUA
• CGATAT
• CGAUAU
• GCUTUT

If one strand of DNA has the sequence TTACCG, the sequence of the other strand of the same molecule will be

• AATGGC
• TTACCG
• AACGGC
• AATGGG

Why must transcription occur where DNA can be found?

• because DNA can't leave the nucleus

• because ribosomes are in the nucleus

• because DNA polymerase is found there

• because helicase unzips the DNA

Where does TRANSCRIPTION occur?

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

In what process is mRNA made?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• Mitosis

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4
