Sexually reproducing organisms pass on genetic
information as a
amino acids
inorganic proteins
complex sugars
sequence of bases (A, T, G, and C)
The instructions for the genetic traits of an organism
are directly determined by the
number of bases in a molecule
sequence of bases in DNA
length of DNA
the way the bases pair up
Eye color in a family is listed below
Mom: Brown Eyes
Dad: Blue Eyes
Son: Brown Eyes
Daughter: Blue Eyes
The eye color of the children are a result of
natural selection
heredity
evolution
environmental influences
Which molecules are needed for DNA replication?
antibodies
carbohydrates
hormones
biological catalysts
A woman dyes her hair from blonde to jet black. When her blonde haired husband and her have a child, the child also has blonde hair. Which explains this?
A child inherits most of their traits from their
mother.
Both parents need dyed black hair for the child to inherit it.
Babies prefer blonde hair.
The woman's black hair was a result of her dying it. A characteristic like this is not inherited.
Which explains why the kitten has green eyes?
chromosomes code for eye color
genetic mutations cause genes to change
offspring receive DNA from both parents
gene expression that results in a species evolving
The Universal Genetic Code Chart is used for...
identifying DNA
determining amino acid sequence
change RNA to DNA
identify mutations
The messenger RNA sequence that is most likely to produce a functional protein is
UGA-UAU-CGA-GGA-GUU-GCG-CUC-UAG
UAG-UAU-CGA-GGA-GUU-GCG-CUC-AUG
AUG-UAU-CGA-GGA-GUU-GCG-CUC-UGA
UAA-CUC-UUA-UUU-GUU-CGA-UAU-UAA

UAU-CGA-GUU-UUU-UUA-CUC
UAU-CGA-GGA-GUU-GCG-CUC
CUC-GCG-GUU-GGA-CGA-UAU
CUC-UUA-UUU-GUU-CGA-UAU
Which statement best explains why giraffes have long necks?
the gene is in their body cells
genes mutate
environmental influence
the gene is a part of their DNA
In what process is mRNA synthesized?
Transcription
Translation
DNA Replication
Mitosis
Why must transcription occur in the nucleus?
because DNA can't leave the nucleus
because ribosomes are in the nucleus
because DNA polymerase is found there
because helicase unzips the DNA
How are DNA and RNA different?
Only DNA can leave the nucleus
RNA contains Thymine; DNA contains Uracil
RNA is double stranded, DNA is a single stranded
DNA contains Thymine, RNA contains Uracil
Choose the sequence of the mRNA strand that would match up with to the following DNA strand:
GTACAT
CATGTA
GAUCUA
CAUGUA
CUTGTU
How many nucleotides code for 1 amino acid?
1
2
3
4
What determines the shape and function of a protein?
The sequence of amino acids
The type of ribosome that assembles the protein
The cell that manufactures the protein
During transcription, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for copying the DNA and brining it out of the nucleus.
tRNA
mRNA
rRNA
dRNA
These building blocks consist of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base.
Ribose
Nucleotide
Gene
Protein
During translation, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for delivering amino acids to help make a protein.
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA
dRNA
