WGU Biochemistry Exam 2025 Questions and
Answers 100% Pass
Replication, transcription and translation in this order. - ✔✔The biological process depicting the central
dogma of life.
The Central dogma - ✔✔The a process in which information is used to direct the synthesis of proteins
that carry out the cell's activities.
Genome - ✔✔Organism's complete set of genetic information.
coding strand, - ✔✔The DNA strand whose base sequence corresponds to the base sequence of the RNA
transcript produced (although with thymine replaced by uracil). It is this strand which contains codons.
non-coding strand. - ✔✔1)Contains anti-codons. 2) It contains the sequence of bases that is
complementary to that of the messenger RNA (except uracil substituting for thymine). 3)It is the strand
used as a template for mRNA assembly during transcription, and is complementary to the other strand of
the DNA molecule, the coding strand.
nonsense mutation - ✔✔change single base pair to create a stop codon.
silent mutatuion - ✔✔change single base pair no change in amino acid.
missense Mutation - ✔✔change single base pair to encode a different amino acid.
point mutation - ✔✔mutations that change single base pair
frameshift mutation - ✔✔insertions or deletion of 7 or more base pair.
double stranded break - ✔✔both strands of DNA molecule are broken.

, Template strand - ✔✔The strand of DNA which is used during transcription to make mRNA.
none template strand - ✔✔non-coding strand.
inheritance - ✔✔principals behind genetic material being passed down
principals of dominance - ✔✔One phenotype dominates another phenotype
recessive trate - ✔✔Hidden by dominate phenotype
principle of segregation - ✔✔recessive factor becomes segregated in F2.
principal of independent assortment - ✔✔different factors sort separate from each other. 9:3:3:1
Mendelian ratio - ✔✔3:1 ratio of recessive phenotype in R2 generation
Punnet square - ✔✔diagram of inheritance patterns.
Phenotype - ✔✔observable traits or characteristics of an individual.
Geneotype - ✔✔complete set of genes
Gene - ✔✔codes for proteins
allele - ✔✔one member of a gene pair
Chromosome - ✔✔Highly compacted DNA-DNA+protein
Incomplete dominance and co dominece - ✔✔incomplete equals different phenotype for hetrozygotes
sex-linked inharitence - ✔✔genes located on x chromosomes have no allele xy males
nucleosome - ✔✔DNA + Histone proteins
expression - ✔✔DNA+RNA+Protein
Histones - ✔✔proteins that bind DNA
