State the 3 main ideas regarding the Central dogma of biology.

- DNA is replicated - DNA is translated into RNA - RNA is transcribed into proteins

- DNA is transcribed into RNA - RNA is translated into proteins - Proteins are synthesized from amino acids

- RNA is replicated - Proteins are transcribed into DNA - DNA is synthesized from proteins

- DNA is converted into lipids - RNA is converted into carbohydrates - Proteins are converted into nucleic acids

Briefly describe the process of Transcription.

- DNA is turned into an RNA message to be sent out of the nucleus

- RNA is turned into a DNA message to be sent out of the nucleus

- Proteins are synthesized directly from DNA

- DNA is replicated to form new DNA strands

Briefly describe the process of Translation.

RNA message is decoded and turned into a string of amino acids

DNA is replicated to form a new strand

Proteins are synthesized directly from DNA

RNA is transcribed back into DNA

Briefly describe the process of Replication.

DNA is copied semiconservatively by proteins using the old strands as templates for the new

DNA is copied conservatively without using old strands

RNA is copied semiconservatively by proteins using the old strands as templates

Proteins are synthesized semiconservatively using DNA as a template

Briefly describe the process of Mutation.

A change in the DNA sequence of an organism

A type of genetic recombination

Which of the following are the 5 nitrogenous bases used in DNA and RNA, and their pairings?

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil; A-T, C-G, A-U

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil; A-U, C-G, A-T

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil; A-C, T-G, U-A

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil; A-G, T-C, U-A

A mutation causes the insertion of a single nucleotide into a DNA sequence. How might this affect the resulting protein?

The protein will have a completely different sequence of amino acids after the mutation.

The protein will be shorter because the mutation creates a premature stop codon.

The protein will remain unchanged because one nucleotide has little impact.

The protein will gain extra amino acids because the mutation extends the reading frame.

A scientist observes a mutation where one nucleotide is deleted from a DNA sequence. What type of mutation is this, and what is its potential impact on the resulting protein?

Deletion; causes a frameshift, altering the entire amino acid sequence.

Substitution; changes one amino acid in the protein.

Insertion; introduces a stop codon, halting protein synthesis.

Silent mutation; does not affect the protein because it occurs in non-coding DNA.
