UVic BIO 400 The Heredity
Material Exam Questions and
Answers 100% PASS
True or False: Watson and Crick discovered DNA and determined that this was
the molecule responsible for inheritance. - CORRECT ANSWER-False
The history of the study of the hereditary material, leading to the discovery of the
structure of the DNA molecule, consisted of two streams: - CORRECT
ANSWER-Genetic function (union of biochemistry and genetics).
Structure of macro-molecules.
Why is the structure of DNA conducive to replication? - CORRECT ANSWER-
The double helix suggests a copying mechanism for DNA (each strand in the
DNA double helix acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary
strand).
Friedrich Miescher discovered __ in 1869 - CORRECT ANSWER-DNA
Friedrich Miescher isolated DNA from - CORRECT ANSWER-Pus
, What did Friedrich Miescher call the new molecule that he isolated from pus? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Nuclein
Miescher suspected that nuclein might be involved in - CORRECT ANSWER-
Heridity
Miescher thought that isomers (different forms) of nuclein might be - CORRECT
ANSWER-hereditary variants
Albrecht Kossel - CORRECT ANSWER-Determined that there were different
nitrogen containing compounds (not called DNA back then) called them nucleic
acids. Thymus type nucleic acid (DNA). Yeast type nucleic acid (RNA).
Four nitrogenous bases in DNA - CORRECT ANSWER-Adenine, Thymine,
Cytosine, Guanine
Phoebus Aaron Levene (1869-1940) - CORRECT ANSWER-Elucidated the
structure of nucleotides and the differences between DNA and RNA; proposed
the tetranucleotide model of DNA.
Regarding the basis of DNA, Phoebus Aaron Levene's analysis suggested that: -
CORRECT ANSWER-The four bases of DNA were present in equimolar
amounts; in other words, in equal numbers.
Phoebus Aaron Levene realized that DNA and RNA differed in: - CORRECT
ANSWER-Their base composition and their sugar
