  2. A molecule of DNA is "packaged" and carried by a larger molecule called a __________. • A. Nucleus • B. Vacuole • C. Chromosome • D. Gene

  3. A molecule of DNA is "packaged" and carried by a larger molecule called a __________. • Answer: C • A molecule of DNA is "packaged" and carried by a larger molecule called a chromosome. In a chromosome, a single strand of DNA is wound and coiled many times around a variety of proteins. In this way, a chromosome functions as a method of "packaging" the DNA, which would be extremely long if it existed as an independent strand (if the DNA in a human cell were stretched out, it would be about 6 feet long!).

  4. Every trait you see on an organism is a result of that organism’s DNA instructing the organism’s cells. How does the information stored in DNA’s nucleotides translate into traits such as eye color and ear shape? • A. Traits are determined by proteins that are built according to the instructions stored in genes. • B. Traits are determined by a group of enzymes known as DNA helicases. • C. Traits are determined by codons that are stored in groups of nucleotides. • D. Traits are determined by the presence or absence of lac operons along a series of nucleotides.

  5. Every trait you see on an organism is a result of that organism’s DNA instructing the organism’s cells. How does the information stored in DNA’s nucleotides translate into traits such as eye color and ear shape? • Answer: A • Proteins have many functions, including acting as enzymes and cell membrane channels. All of the proteins in the body are built from amino acids according to very specific instructions stored in the genes on DNA molecules. Proteins are not built directly from DNA, though. RNA is involved in protein synthesis, which is also known as gene expression.

  6. DNA contains all the information a cell needs in order to make certain proteins. Where are the protein-synthesizing instructions stored on a DNA molecule? • A. The deoxyribose portion of certain genes code for the production of certain proteins. • B. Every gene on certain chromosomes code for the production of different kinds of uracil, which then promotes protein synthesis. • C. The nucleotides of certain genes code for the production of specific proteins. • D. The phosphate group in a strand of DNA codes for the production of amino acids.

  7. DNA contains all the information a cell needs in order to make certain proteins. Where are the protein-synthesizing instructions stored on a DNA molecule? • Answer: C • A gene’s instructions for making a protein are coded in the sequence of nucleotides in the gene. The instructions for making a protein are transferred from a gene to an RNA molecule during transcription. Amino acids are joined together into specific proteins during translation. This process is known as gene expression.

  8. When a cell needs a particular protein synthesized, messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced from DNA through transcription. How is genetic information stored in mRNA? • A. As amino acids • B. As codons • C. As ribose • D. As uracil

  9. When a cell needs a particular protein synthesized, messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced from DNA through transcription. How is genetic information stored in mRNA? • Answer: B • RNA information is stored in an RNA molecule as a series of three-nucleotide sequences on the mRNA called codons. Each codon along the mRNA strand corresponds to an amino acid or signifies a start or stop signal for translation.

  10. In DNA, the structure and size of the four nitrogen bases allows only for one kind of base to pair with one other kind. This is called the base-pairing rule. Which of the following shows how bases pair in complementary strands of DNA? • A. A-A and T-T • B. A-T and C-G • C. A-G and T-C • D. A-C and T-G

  11. In DNA, the structure and size of the four nitrogen bases allows only for one kind of base to pair with one other kind. This is called the base-pairing rule. Which of the following shows how bases pair in complementary strands of DNA? • Answer: B • Adenine (A) forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) forms three hydrogen bonds with guanine (G). The hydrogen bonds between the bases keep the two strands of DNA together.

  13. A molecule of DNA is "packaged" and carried by a larger molecule called a __________. • Answer: C • A molecule of DNA is "packaged" and carried by a larger molecule called a chromosome. In a chromosome, a single strand of DNA is wound and coiled many times around a variety of proteins. In this way, a chromosome functions as a method of "packaging" the DNA, which would be extremely long if it existed as an independent strand (if the DNA in a human cell were stretched out, it would be about 6 feet long!).

  14. Which of the following is true about genes? • A. The genes of a particular organism can never change throughout its lifetime. • B. In humans, genes are passed to an offspring from two parents. • C. Genes are made up of smaller molecules known as chromosomes. • D. Genes are responsible for all the traits of an organism.

  15. Which of the following is true about genes? • Answer: B • In humans and many other sexually-reproducing organisms, genes are passed to an offspring from two parents. Half of a child's genetic information comes from his/her mother and the other half comes from • his/her father. • Genes are not responsible for all the traits of an organism. Some of the traits of an organism are a result of environmental factors, such as diet, for example. Genes are responsible for all the inherited traits of an organism. • The genes of a particular organism can change throughout its lifetime. Such a change is known as a mutation. • Genes are not made up of chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of genes.

  16. An allele is one of the alternative forms of a gene that governs a trait. If a fern plant is heterozygous for a particular trait, how can the alleles that control that trait be described? • A. One dominant, one recessive • B. Two dominant recessive • C. Three recessive, one dominant • D. Two recessive

  17. An allele is one of the alternative forms of a gene that governs a trait. If a fern plant is heterozygous for a particular trait, how can the alleles that control that trait be described? • Answer: A • If the two alleles of a particular gene present in an individual are the same, the individual is said to be homozygous. If the alleles of a particular gene present in an individual are different, the individual is heterozygous for that trait.
