expect to see? - Correct Answers ✅STR profiles will be
identical because all cells belonging to an individual have the
same DNA and the same genes.
What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic
gene transcription? - Correct Answers ✅in eukaryotes it
occurs in the nucleus; in prokaryotes it occurs in the
cytoplasm
Which of the following is the best definition for recombinant
DNA? - Correct Answers ✅DNA that includes pieces from
two different sources
Your DNA is - Correct Answers ✅identical in all cells
Liver cells and kidney cells do different tasks because they -
Correct Answers ✅contain the same DNA but use different
genes
Which STR would likely migrate the furthest distance through

Chemical X is a drug that interferes with microtubule
formation. Microtubules are the structures that help separate
sister chromatids. Which stage of the cell cycle would
chemical X most likely affect most? - Correct Answers
✅mitosis
Which enzyme pairs corresponding nucleotides to a
preexisting DNA chain in order to synthesize a new strand of
DNA? - Correct Answers ✅DNA polymerase
The data that showed that DNA is a helix in its "wet form"
that was instrumental to the discovery of its structure was
collected by - Correct Answers ✅Rosalind Franklin
Radioactive Man, a comic-book superhero, gained his abilities
by falling into a vat of industrial toxic waste. Is this a likely
outcome? - Correct Answers ✅No, because most mutations
are either harmful or neutral and because so many mutations
would probably cause cancer or other disease
If adenine makes up 40% of the bases in a DNA double helix,
what percent of the bases would you expect to be guanine? -
