what allows codons to be translated into amino acids

What is the correct sequence of events during translation?

Initiation, elongation, termination

Elongation, initiation, termination

Termination, elongation, initiation

Initiation, elongation, initiation

Do all cells of the body express the same genes?

No, since they don't all need to make the same proteins

Yes, since they all contain the same DNA

Yes, since they all make the same proteins

No, since they don't contain the same DNA

Can one gene make different proteins?

Yes, by splicing the resulting mRNA differently (i.e., removing different exons)

Yes, by modifying the original DNA

No, because one gene codes only for a single protein

No, because genes do not make proteins

What does it mean when we say a gene is "turned off"?

The gene cannot be transcribed and translated into a protein.

The gene is no longer working properly.

What is gene regulation?

Mechanisms that turn on and off specific genes to change which proteins are made

Mechanisms that regulate the replication of DNA

Mechanisms that regulate which genes get copied

Mechanisms that turn on and off mitosis in the cell cycle

In what way(s) can mRNAs be processed?

All of the above are ways in which mRNAs can be processed

By adding caps and tails to the ends of the mRNAs

By removing the introns (the noncoding regions) of the mRNAs

By splicing the exons (the coding regions) of the mRNAs in different ways

The signal transduction pathway allows ________.

one cell to regulate the gene expression of another cell

a cell to repair damage to its DNA

genes from one organism to be inserted into the nucleus of another organism's cells

What are carcinogens?

Physical or chemical factors that can lead to mutations causing cancer

The only source of mutations in cells

Chemical factors that can treat cancer

How does a cell typically know when to divide?

Proto-oncogenes code for growth factor proteins that initiate cell division.

Cells have an internal clock and divide only when they reach a certain age.

Tumor suppressor genes code for growth factor proteins that initiate cell division.

Oncogenes code for growth factor proteins that initiate cell division.

cells with proto-oncogene activated

what happens when cells get old

Oncogenes are mutated proto-oncogenes.

Oncogenes are necessary genes that help regulate the cell cycle.

Oncogenes are mutated tumor-suppressor genes.

Oncogenes are necessary genes that inhibit the cell cycle.

Which of the following mutations can help lead to cancer?

All of the above would lead to cancer

Mutations to tumor suppressor genes

What is a "benign" tumor?

A mass of cells that grows out of control but remains at the site of origin

A single mutated cell that could potentially develop into cancer

A mass of cells that grows out of control and spreads to other tissues

What is the main cause of cancer?

Exposure to carcinogens in the environment

DNA replication no longer working properly

Old age, during which the cells of the body no longer work properly

We do not currently know the main cause of cancer.
