Unit 4 Review

Which statement best describes the relationship that exists among proteins, DNA, and cells?

• DNA is made up of proteins, which tell a cell how to function

• Cells contain DNA, which controls the production of proteins

• 
  Proteins combine to produce cells, which produce DNA

• 
  Proteins are made up of DNA, which determines the cells that are produced

During the process of protein synthesis, which could cause the wrong amino acids to bond together and form an incorrect protein?

•  base pairing cytosine with guanine during translation

• 
   base pairing uracil with adenine during transcription

• deletion or addition of a base during transcription

• 
  attachment of mRNA and rRNA during translation

Which is not a step in protein synthesis?

• tRNA brings in amino acids

• mRNA travels to the ribosome

• DNA polymerase reads the mRNA

• RNA polymerase makes mRNA from DNA

Which nucleic acid is correctly paired with its function?

• mRNA: lines up amino acids at the ribosome

• DNA: forms peptide bonds between amino acids

• tRNA: moves genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome

• mRNA: moves genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome

Two people each have a gene that codes for a form of hemoglobin. Person #1 has a gene that encodes for normal hemoglobin, whereas Person #2 has a gene that encodes a mutated form of hemoglobin. The difference between these two genes is due to

• the sequence of phosphate groups in the double helix

• the sequence of the nitrogen bases in the DNA molecules

• the sequence of sugar and phosphate in the sides of the DNA double helix

• the sequence of deoxyribose sugar in the double helix

The pairing of ________ in DNA is the key feature that allows for genetic variation.

• deoxyribose

• hydrogen bonds

• nitrogen bases

• chromosome
