Answers

1
True or False: DNA is made up of nucleotides
True
False
2
Which of the following is a possible RNA base pairing?
C-U

U-A
3
Which of the following is NOT one of the nucleic bases?
Cytosine
Adenine
Guanine
Thiamine
4
What does DNA ligase do?
Keeps the DNA from getting tangled
Joins Okazaki fragments
Unwinds the DNA
Causes lagging strands the lag
5
True or False: Messenger RNA is a permanent RNA version of a DNA recipe that goes to the ribosomes.
False
True
6
What is transcription?
The process of making RNA from DNA
The process of writing down what is being said
The process of making DNA from RNA
Translation
7
What is the main difference between RNA bases and DNA bases?
RNA and DNA bases are the exact same
RNA has 6 bases while DNA only has 4
RNA has uracil instead of thymine
RNA and DNA have nothing to do with each other
8
How does the polymerase know it is done coding during transcription?
The brain decides when it has enough info
It just stops after 3 days
It reaches the termination sequence
It reaches the start site
9
What enzyme unwinds the DNA helix?
Helicase
Primrose
Nitroblaze
Polymerase
10
What does DNA polymerase do?
Joins Okazaki fragments
Keeps the helix from getting tangled
Unwinds the DNA strand
Adds new nucleotides
11
Which of the following is a matching DNA base pair?
A-G
A-T
C-T
A-U
12
True or False: Nucleotides use phospholivester bonds to link together
False
True
13
Which of the following is NOT one of the main components that every nucleotide has?
Amino acid
5-carbon sugar
Nucleic Base
Phosphate
14
What is the first step of DNA replication?
Synthesis of a new strand
The leading strand dominates
an RNA primer is added
DNA strand unwinds
15
Which of the following scientists did NOT discover the double helix in DNA?
Watson
Crick
Franklin
