BIOD 210 Genetics Final Exam (BIOD 210) University Biology – 350 Questions on DNA, Mitosis & Gene Expression

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 4 out of 34 pages

This document contains approximately 350 exam-style questions with verified answers designed for the BIOD 210 Genetics final exam. It comprehensively covers foundational and advanced genetics topics including DNA structure, replication, transcription, translation, Mendelian genetics, mutations, and gene regulation, as introduced on page 1 with core concepts such as nucleotide structure and nitrogenous bases . The material is organized in a detailed question-and-answer format that supports both conceptual understanding and exam preparation. It provides in-depth coverage of cellular processes such as mitosis and meiosis, chromosomal behavior, and inheritance patterns including monohybrid, dihybrid, and epistasis ratios. Additionally, it explores molecular genetics topics such as the central dogma, RNA processing, protein synthesis, gene expression regulation, and key experiments (e.g., Griffith, Avery-MacLeod, Hershey-Chase) that established DNA as genetic material. The document also includes advanced concepts like mutation types, chromosomal abnormalities, linkage, recombination frequency, and post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanisms. This study guide is ideal for students enrolled in Genetics, Molecular Biology, Biology, Biomedical Sciences, and Pre-Medical programs. It is particularly useful for undergraduate students preparing for final exams, as well as those in health sciences, biotechnology, or life sciences courses requiring a strong foundation in genetics. It can also benefit MCAT or related exam candidates seeking structured review material. The content aligns closely with widely used textbooks such as Genetics: Analysis and Principles by Robert J. Brooker and Campbell Biology, which are standard references in undergraduate genetics courses. This document serves as a complete and in-depth revision resource, combining theoretical knowledge with practical exam-level application. Keywords: genetics final exam, DNA replication transcription translation, mitosis meiosis stages, Mendelian genetics ratios, gene expression regulation, mutation types genetics, chromosomal abnormalities, epistasis inheritance patterns, RNA processing splicing, protein synthesis biology, genetic code codons anticodons, linkage recombination frequency, molecular biology concepts, central dogma biology, genetics study guide

Questions And Answers |
Guaranteed Success

A nucleotide is made up of what 3 components? - 🧠 ANSWER

✔✔phosphate group, pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in

RNA), and a nitrogenous base


What nitrogenous bases are purines - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Adenine and

Guanine

,What nitrogenous bases are pyrimidines? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔cytosine,

thymine, uracil

How can you differentiate between purines and pyrimidines? - 🧠 ANSWER

✔✔purines are double-ringed while pyrimidines are single-ringed


What are the differences between DNA and RNA? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔DNA:

double stranded, has deoxyribose sugar(hydroxyl group at 2' carbon),

bases: A, T, G, C

RNA: single stranded, has ribose sugar(one oxygen is removed from the 2'

Carbon), bases: A, U, G, C


Nucleoside vs Nucleotide - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔nucleoside: pentose sugar +

nitrogenous base

nucleotide: pentose sugar + nitrogenous base + phosphate group

What type of bonds bind nucleotide chains? - 🧠 ANSWER

✔✔Phosphodiester bonds


What are the 4 requirements for a molecule to be genetic material? - 🧠

ANSWER ✔✔1.) Must contain important info to encode hereditary traits


2.) Must be capable of replication

,3.) Must be capable of variation by mutation

4.) Must be able to express information


Where are chromosomes located? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔cell's nucleus


what is a centrosome? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔location in the cell that contains

centrioles


What are centrioles? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔microtubules that produce mitotic

spindle fibers, aids in cell division, and make up the cytoskeleton of the cell


How many centrioles are there for every centrosome? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔2

centrioles/1 centrosome

How many copies of each type of chromosome does each eukaryotic cell

typically have? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔2 copies


what are homologous chromosomes? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔copies of the same

type of DNA


What are non-homologous chromosomes? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔copies of

different chromosomes with different DNA


What is mitosis? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔cell division of one cell into 2 exact

duplicates

, What are the six stages of Mitosis in order? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔interphase,

prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and

cytokinesis


What happens during mitosis interphase? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔mitosis stage

that the cell is primarily in

chromosomes are uncondensed, so they are just hanging out in the

nucleus

1 centrosome < 2 centrioles


What happens during interphase s-phase? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Centrosome

replication ( 2 centrosomes < 4 centrioles) occurs and chromosome

replication occurs (still uncondensed)


What happens during mitosis prophase? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔centrioles move

to opposite ends of the cell using spindle fibers
