5) A(n) gene is a gene that encodes a protein that is easy to detect and assay.
A) encoder
B) translational
C) reporter
D) recorder
Answer: C
Bloom’s Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding
Chapter Section: 12.5

6) One of the more formidable obstacles to mammalian gene cloning is the presence of
A) introns.
B) exons.
C) repressors.
D) integrators.
Answer: A
Bloom’s Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding
Chapter Section: 12.3

7) What is the most important advantage of Pfu polymerase over Taq polymerase?
A) Unlike Taq polymerase, Pfu polymerase functions well at relatively high temperatures.
B) It is from a bacterium, not an archaean, so it is more effective for replicating eukaryotic DNA.
C) Pfu polymerase removes the need for primers during PCR.
D) Unlike Taq polymerase, Pfu polymerase has proofreading activity.
Answer: D
Bloom’s Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding
Chapter Section: 12.1

8) What is the difference between PCR and RT-PCR?
A) Only PCR makes many copies of DNA rapidly.
B) RT-PCR uses an RNA template whereas PCR uses a DNA template.
C) Only PCR produces cDNA.
D) PCR uses a single stranded template whereas RT-PCR uses a double-stranded template.
Answer: C
Bloom’s Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding
Chapter Section: 12.1

9) The genes encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) and β-galactosidase are typically used in
cloning as
A) transcription regulators.
B) global control genes.
C) promoter sequences.
D) reporter genes.
Answer: D
