BIO 210 - GENETICS,
EXAM 1 WITH CORRECT
QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS.
, POLYPEPTIDE - correct ans:liner sequence of amino acids that is the product
of mRNA translation
FUNCTIONAL PROTEIN - correct ans:one or more polypeptides, folded
GENE - correct ans:a unit of heredity that may influence the outcome of a
trait in an organism
GENE - correct ans:a segment of DNA that contains the information to make
RNA or polypeptides
SYNTHESIS - correct ans:combination; the product of chemical compounds by
reaction from simpler materials
NUCLEOTIDE - correct ans:the repeating structural unit of nucleic acids,
composed of a sugar, one-three phosphates, and a base
NUCLEIC ACIDS - correct ans:RNA or DNA; a macromolecule that is composed
of repeating nucleotide units
NUCLEOSIDE - correct ans:structure in which a base is attached to a sugar,
but no phosphate is attached to the sugar
NUCLEOSOME - correct ans:the repeating structural unit within eukaryotic
chromatin; composed of a double-stranded DNA wrapped around an octamer
of histone proteins
OCTAMER - correct ans:the eight protein complex found at the center of a
nucleosome core particle. It consists of two copies of each of the four core
histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4)
