BIOBEYOND MAKING PROTEIN UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS VERIFIED 2027 EDITION
1. Where are the "instructions" for cellular function stored?
Nucleic Acids
2. what are some functions of nucleic acids?
Store information Speed up reactions Transport information
3. Shown is a diagram of a single-stranded DNA segment, similar to the one you built in Genetic
Blueprints, along with the three components of a single nucleotide. Match the components to their
names and determine the sequence of the complementary strand, using single letters for the bases.
base sugar phospa
4. Complementary sequence from bottom to top (enter letters only - no spaces or punctuation):
ATCG
5. What holds the two strands together?
HYDROGEN BONDS
6. Where do you think the information is encoded?
The sequence/order of bases
7. Produces free proteins
Ribosome E Yes
8. Protects genetic material
Nucleus A No
9. Produces proteins to be excreted
Endoplasmic Reticulum B No
10. In eukaryotes DNA resides in the nucleus, but proteins are made by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or
by ribosomes in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). How do you think the information from the DNA (that
is needed to make proteins) gets to the ribosomes?
The information is copied to another molecule which goes from DNA to ribosome
11. Prokaryotes don't have their genetic material stored in a nucleus. How do you think prokaryotic
genetic information gets to the ribosomes?
The information is copied to another molecule which goes from DNA to ribosome
12. Shown to the right are an RNA nucleotide and a DNA nucleotide. What differences do you see?
Select all that apply.
The structure of the sugar is different The structure of the nitrogenous base is different
13. One other key difference between RNA and DNA is the bases used. RNA uses the base uracil in
place of the base thymine, though they function in very similar ways in the molecules. What
differences do you see between these bases? Select all that apply.
The number of carbon atoms is different The groups connected to the rings are different The number of
hydrogen atoms is different
