DNA Processes

Nucleic acid is defined as

• a type of protein

• • Base of a nucleic acid. Consists of the 5 bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil. 

• •  Monomer of a nucleic acid. Made up of a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

• • Macromolecule responsible for storage and expression of genomic information.

A nucleotide is a...?

• • Monomer of a nucleic acid. Made up of a sugar, a carbon base, and an oxygen.

• • Monomer of a protein. Made up of a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

• • Monomer of a nucleic acid. Made up of a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

• • Polymer of a nucleic acid. Made up of a sugar, phosphate group, and a radon base.

Nitrogen base is defined as

• • Base of a nucleic acid. Consists of the 5 bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil. 

• a type of protein found in the human body

• a form of carbohydrate used for energy

• • Base of a nucleic acid. Consists of the 3 bases adenine, thymine, cytosine.

Deoxyribonucleic acid is defined as:

• A type of protein

• A molecule that carries genetic information

• A type of carbohydrate

• A form of energy

Ribonucleic acid is defined as

• a type of protein

• a type of carbohydrate

• a molecule essential for coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes

• a type of lipid

The structure of DNA is known as a

• Single strand

• Double helix

• Triple helix

• Quadruple helix

Semi-conservative replication is a method of DNA replication where each of the two parental DNA strands act as a template for new strands, resulting in two DNA molecules each with one parental and one new strand.

• A method where both strands of DNA are new.

• A method where one strand is new and one is old.

• A method where both strands are old.

• A method where DNA does not replicate.

The Central Dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to which of the following?

• Protein

• Lipid

• Carbohydrate

• Nucleic Acid

Transcription is the process of:

• copying DNA into RNA

• translating RNA into protein

• replicating DNA

• modifying proteins

mRNA is defined as

• messenger RNA, a type of RNA that conveys genetic information from DNA to the ribosome

• mitochondrial RNA, a type of RNA found in mitochondria

• micro RNA, a small non-coding RNA molecule

• modified RNA, an artificially altered RNA molecule
