DNA Finals Review

Why did we mash up the strawberries for the extracting DNA experiment???

• separate cells and break down cell walls

• to filter the mixture

• to see the DNA

• to break the nucleus

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

Which of the following DNA nucleotides are paired with the correct corresponding DNA nucleotide? (mark all that apply)

• Adenine with Thymine

• Guanine with Cytosine

• Thymine with Cytosine

• Adenine with Uracil.

• Uracil with Thymine

Which is the role of DNA polymerase?

• Unwinds the original DNA strand

• Lays down RNA primer for new nucleotide bases.

• Builds new strands by bringing in new nucleotide bases.

• Remove Okazaki fragments for new nucleotides.

Nitrogenous bases are joined by which type of bond?

• polar bonds
• ionic bonds
• covalent bonds
• hydrogen bonds

Why does DNA replicate?

• To create another copy for the new cell
• To create a duplicate copy in case the original gets damaged
• To create a new copy to replace the damaged original

The process of DNA replication is called semi conservative because it results in

• none of these
• Two DNA molecules.  One original molecule and one with two new strands
• two exact copies with new strands
• two identical molecules, each with 1 original strand and one new.

What are the 4 nitrogen bases?

• adenine, thymine, cytoplasm, and guanine
• adenine, thymine cytosine, and guanine
• adenine, thymine, cytosine, and gylcerol
• adenine, thymine, cytosine, and glucose

What makes up the SIDES of a DNA ladder?

• nitrogen bases

• sugars & phosphates

• genes & chromosomes

• RNA

What makes up the rungs (steps) of a DNA ladder?

• sugars & phosphates

• nitrogen bases

• sugars

• genes & chromosomes
