Answer: protein production
◉ proteins are made.
Answer: by the ribosomes
◉ what is a chromosome?.
Answer: a large, tightly bound piece of DNA and protein found in the
nucleus of cells
,◉ what is a genome.
Answer: the complete set of genetic material encoded within the
DNA of an organism
◉ What is the significance of the '23rd pair' of chromosomes in
humans?.
Answer: it determines a person's sex
◉ a boy's Y chromosome will generally NOT be identical to that of
his.
Answer: great-grandfather on mother's side of family
◉ DNA is a type of molecule called a ______. Its smaller parts are
called ________..
Answer: deoxyribonucleic acid; nucleotides
◉ which of the following base pairs would be found in normal DNA?.
Answer: A and T
◉ DNA is called a double helix because.
Answer: two DNA strands twist together
, ◉ DNA can be visualized as a ladder. Which parts would be the
rungs (where you step) and which would be the stringers (the sides
where you hold on)?.
Answer: The base are rungs, and the phosphate bases are stringers
◉ What are nucleotides.
Answer: molecules that make up the information contained in DNA
◉ How is the structure of DNA molecule arranged?.
Answer: Each nucleotides' phosphate group binds to the sugar
group of the next nucleotide
◉ What is the 'double helix' when reffering to the structure of DNA?.
Answer: two strands of linked nucleotides that are twisted around
each other
◉ What is the correct pattern of nucleotide base pairing?.
Answer: adenine-thymine; guanine-cytosine
