The nucleus (and more specifically, the genes it contains) most directly controls all of the cell's activities by:
Controlling cell division
Regulating protein synthesis
Synthesizing DNA and RNA
Coordinating intracellular communication
Which series progresses from the thinnest to the thickest in diameter?
DNA > histone > chromosome > nucleosome
Histone > chromosome > DNA > nucleosome
Nucleosome > histone > DNA > chromosome
DNA > histone > nucleosome > chromosome
Three triplets (UAA, UAG, UGA) do not specify amino acids. These triplets are termed
Terminators
Codons
Anticodons
Introns
Karyotyping of healthy man cells is carried out. A fine acrocentric old chromosome is found in the karyotype. What kind of chromosome is it?
Group A chromosome
Group B chromosome
X-chromosome
Y-chromosome
In a nucleus there are non-constant structures that disappear at the beginning of cell division and appear again at the end of it. They include protein and RNA. They take part in the formation of ribosome subunits. How are these structures called?
Nucleosomes
Polysomes
Microtubules
Nucleoli
Chromosomes of eukaryotic cells consist generally of chromatin – a complex of double-stranded DNA and 5 fractions of histone proteins forming a nucleosome. What histone stabilizes nucleosome structure?
H3
H2A
H1
H4
A patient with inherited immunodeficiency underwent gene therapy: the gene of an enzyme was introduced into the patient’s cells using a retrovirus. What characteristic of the genetic code allows using retroviruses as vectors of functional genes?
Universality
Degeneracy
Commaless
Colinearity
There are three types of chromosomes in a human karyotype. After mutation one of the chromosomes has one arm only. This chromosome is
Acrocentric
Telocentric
Metacentric
Submetacentric
The similar chromosomes in males and females are termed as:
Homologous
Heterosomes
Sex chromosomes
Autosomes
What do we call the double set of chromosomes, specific for the species?
Genome
Karyotype
Idiogram
Metaphase plate
