AP Unit 6 Gene Expression Test Review 2022

Operons are found in the cells of which of the following types of organisms?

• prokaryotes (bacteria)
• eukaryotes (plant and animals)
• animals only
• viruses

In the top picture the operon is

• on

• off

In the bottom picture the operon is

• on

• off

The lac operon genes only become expressed if:

• lactose binds to the repressor
• glucose binds to the repressor
• lactose binds to the operator
• the repressor binds to the operator

In the lac operon model the genes within the operon will be expressed if:

• lactose is absent in the cell
• glucose is present in the cell
• lactose is present in the cell

The lac operon only starts transcribing genes if the repressor is removed (in the presence of lactose). This means it is

• repressible

• inducible

The picture below shows the steps of DNA replication beginning with step one and ending with step three.

​Because you are reusing the old, or parent, DNA strand DNA replication is said to be

• Semi- Conservative

• Semi-discontinuous

• Continuous

• Fully-Conserveative

The picture below shows an enzyme unwinding and unzipping DNA.

​

​What is the name of this enzyme?

• DNA Helicase

• DNA Ligase

• DNA polyermase

• RNA Polymerase

Match he nucleotide with its complementary nucleotide. (DNA to DNA).

Adenine -

• Thymine

• Guanine

• Cytosine

Match he nucleotide with its complementary nucleotide. (DNA to DNA).

Cytosine-

• Thymine

• Guanine

• Adenine
