Genetics Test

When Falhado and Yasmeen were learning about the history of science, they came across Mendel's experiments. What did these experiments help us understand?

• Understand gravity

• Understand genetics

• Understand chemistry

• Understand astronomy

When Raalia and Mohamad study biology, they learn that certain characteristics in living organisms are determined by what?

• Traits

• Habits

• Skills

• Preferences

During a biology class, Falhado and Hamzah are learning about how cells make copies of their DNA. What does this process involve?

• Folding the DNA

• Unzipping the DNA and adding complementary bases

• Breaking down the DNA

• Changing the DNA sequence

How is DNA replication similar to how Yasmeen copies a book?

• It changes the content

• It creates a new version

• It makes an exact copy

• It summarizes the content

In a classroom discussion, Raalia asked what role RNA plays in the cell. What would be the correct explanation?

• Acts as a structural component

• Acts as a messenger, carrying genetic information

• Stores energy

• Provides nutrients

Hamzah and Yasmeen are learning about how cells function. They wonder why cells need to make RNA from DNA. What is the reason?

• To store energy

• To replicate DNA

• To carry genetic information for protein synthesis

• To break down nutrients

During a biology class, Mohamad asked Hamzah, "What does tRNA stand for?"

• Transfer RNA

• Transcription RNA

• Translation RNA

• Transport RNA

During a biology class, Falhado asked her teacher about the role of mRNA in protein synthesis. What does mRNA stand for?

• Messenger RNA

• Mitochondrial RNA

• Molecular RNA

• Metabolic RNA

In a biology class, Yasmeen is explaining the process of protein synthesis. She asks, "Which type of RNA is responsible for bringing amino acids to ribosomes?"

• mRNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

• sRNA

During a biology class, Raalia is explaining the role of different types of RNA. She asks, "What is the main role of tRNA?"

• Forms part of ribosomes

• Brings amino acids to ribosomes

• Carries genetic information

• Catalyzes protein synthesis
