Controlling cell division

b)

Regulating protein synthesis

c)

Synthesizing DNA and RNA

d)

Coordinating intracellular communication

2.

Which series progresses from the thinnest to the thickest in diameter?

a)

DNA > histone > chromosome > nucleosome

b)

Histone > chromosome > DNA > nucleosome

c)

Nucleosome > histone > DNA > chromosome

d)

DNA > histone > nucleosome > chromosome

3.

Three triplets (UAA, UAG, UGA) do not specify amino acids. These triplets are termed

a)

Terminators

b)

Codons

c)

Anticodons

d)

Introns

4.

Karyotyping of healthy man cells is carried out. A fine acrocentric old chromosome is found in the karyotype. What kind of chromosome is it?

a)

Group A chromosome

b)

Group B chromosome

c)

X-chromosome

d)

Y-chromosome

5.

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?

a)

Nucleosomes

b)

Polysomes

c)

Microtubules

d)

Nucleoli

6.

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?

a)

H3

b)

H2A

c)

H1

d)

H4

7.

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?

a)

Universality

b)

Degeneracy

c)

Commaless

d)

Colinearity

8.

There are three types of chromosomes in a human karyotype. After mutation one of the chromosomes has one arm only. This chromosome is

Acrocentric

b)

Telocentric

c)

Metacentric

d)

Submetacentric

9.

The similar chromosomes in males and females are termed as:

a)

Homologous

b)

Heterosomes

c)

Sex chromosomes

d)

Autosomes

10.
