substitution-missense

b)

substitution-silent

c)

frameshift-insertion

d)

frameshift-deletion

3.

A mutation resulting in no change from the original amino acid sequence

a)

substitution-silent

b)

substitution-nonsense

c)

substitution-missense

d)

frameshift

4.

A mutation that results in a premature stop codon

a)

substitution-nonsense

b)

substitution-silent

c)

substitution-missense

d)

frameshift-insertion

5.

A mutation that results in the change of several amino acids after the point of mutation

a)

frameshift

b)

nonsense

c)

silent

d)

missense

6.

What is the purpose of translation?

a)

to replicate DNA before cell division

b)

to assemble mRNA into a chain

c)

to synthesize amino acids that open up the DNA

d)

to use the genetic code to form a specific sequence of amino acids

7.

If I give you a DNA template strand and ask you to give me the amino acid sequence, what will you do?

a)

use the DNA with the codon chart and just replace the T with U

b)

transcribe the DNA into mRNA first and then use the mRNA with the codon chart

8.

When does synthesis of DNA happen?

a)

S phase

b)

G1 phase

c)

M phase

d)

G2 phase

9.

What are the two overall processes in the cell cycle?

a)

interphase and mitosis

b)

prophase and interphase

c)

mitosis and meiosis

d)

mitosis and prophase

10.

During mitosis, when do spindle fibers separate the chromosomes?

a)

anaphase

b)

metaphase

c)

telophase

d)

prophase

11.

All of your genes aren't being transcribed and translated all the time. There are triggers that signal for certain genes to be transcribed/translated so certain proteins are produced when needed. (seasonally-colored animals are an example of this - like those bunnies where their fur color changes to white in the winter)

a)

I understand

b)

I didn't actually read that, I need to go back and read it (don't pick this one)

12.

Why are your stomach cells different from your muscle cells?

a)

they have different DNA, so they make different proteins

b)

they evolved differently and cannot make the same proteins

c)

they have different kinds of ribosomes

d)

they transcribe/translate different combinations of genes from the same DNA

13.

Except for eggs/sperm, do all of the cells in your body have the same DNA/genes?

a)

yes, but each type of cell is triggered to only produce certain proteins from the DNA

b)

no, each type of cell has unique DNA that codes for unique proteins

14.

In which type of cell could a mutation affect the offspring of the organism?

a)

egg/sperm

b)

liver cell

c)

nerve cell

d)

lung cell

15.

How are differences in traits determined?

a)

the sequence of DNA nucleotides

b)

the location of sugar groups in DNA

c)

the number of bases in DNA

d)

the phosphate groups in DNA

16.

What is the most important part of DNA? The part that will affect what traits are expressed in the organism?

a)

sequence of nucleotides

b)

number of hydrogen bonds

c)

sequence of phosphates

d)

number of carbons
