BACE EXAMS STUDY GUIDE 2025/2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS TAGGED A+
✔✔Why does increasing the temperature of the reactants increase the rate of a
chemical reaction? - ✔✔Heat energy causes the particles of the reactants to move
faster, and therefore react with each other more frequently
✔✔Naturally occurring enzymes involved with DNA replication, and which are also used
as tools in biotechnology, include: - ✔✔DNA Polymerase and DNA Ligase
✔✔Primary (1⁰) structure - ✔✔Amino acids linked together by peptide bonds
✔✔Secondary (2⁰) structure - ✔✔Three dimensional polypetide with alpha helices and
beta sheets due to hydrogen bonding
✔✔Tertiary (3⁰) structure - ✔✔Final three dimensional 3D shape
✔✔Quaternary (4⁰) structure - ✔✔Multipolypeptides forming a larger complex protein
✔✔Select the letter that represents the correct order of assembly in the cell: - ✔✔amino
acid, polypeptide, protein
✔✔Why does the rate of a chemical reaction increase with increasing temperature? -
✔✔Increased temperature increases the frequency of collisions between molecules
✔✔If a structural gene's code is "TAC ATG CCC TTA ATC," what will the mRNA
transcript be? - ✔✔AUG UAC GGG AAU UAG
✔✔During the process of translation: - ✔✔mRNA is translated into proteins.
✔✔Where does translation take place in prokaryotes? - ✔✔At the ribosomes
✔✔Determining the presence of a specific protein - ✔✔ELISA
✔✔Determining the size and purity of a specific protein - ✔✔SDS PAGE
✔✔Determining the time period protein remains active - ✔✔Stability
✔✔Determining the amount of a protein present - ✔✔Spectrophotometer

✔✔Which of the following are advantages to treating diabetics with genetically
engineered human insulin, rather than pig or cow insulin? - ✔✔There is less chance of
an immune response to the human insulin.
Ethical issues are avoided concerning the use of animals.
It is a more efficient process to purify insulin from yeast or bacteria cultures than it is
from animal organs
✔✔"Bioethics" is best described as: - ✔✔The study of decision making as it applies to
moral decisions that must be made due to advances in biology and technology.
✔✔Which of the following are permitted in the laboratory? - ✔✔Eye glasses

✔✔EPA review
✔✔cGMP is an abbreviation used in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical
industry, and stands for: - ✔✔Current Good Manufacturing Practices
✔✔Which of the following is a critical function of Quality Assurance (QA) personnel? -
✔✔Maintain and control documentation for regulatory compliance
✔✔The agency responsible for regulating biopharmaceutical drugs for use in humans
is: - ✔✔Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
✔✔What is the chance a child will be born with cystic fibrosis (a homozygous recessive
trait (aa)) if both the mother and father are heterozygous (Aa)? - ✔✔25% chance of
having the disorder.
✔✔The observable traits of an organism are referred to as the: - ✔✔Phenotype
✔✔If DNA segments changes from GGTTAG to GGATAG this is a: - ✔✔Nucleotide
base substitution
