BIO 201 EXAM 1 UNCW UPDATED
ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
central dogma of biology - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA -> RNA -> Proteins
DNA - CORRECT ANSWER - genetic material that provides a
blueprint for the development and
function of living things
DNA linear sequence of bases - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA blueprints
DNA replicates
transcription - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA makes RNA
RNA - CORRECT ANSWER - linear sequences of bases (nucleotides)
Nucleotides - CORRECT ANSWER - Monomers of nucleic acids
translation - CORRECT ANSWER - RNA makes proteins
protein - CORRECT ANSWER - specific amino-amino chains
that will ultimately produce the phenotype of the living organism
Mad-cow disease - CORRECT ANSWER - example of a protein that can replicate itself
and grow
, genotype - CORRECT ANSWER - genetic composition of an individual
phenotype - CORRECT ANSWER - A manifestation of genotype: An organism's physical
appearance, or visible traits.
mitosis - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA replication. conserves ploidy.
chromosome - CORRECT ANSWER - organized structures of DNA,RNA,
and proteins (histone proteins)
True - CORRECT ANSWER - T/F. Different areas of the chromosome are going to code
different genes
histone proteins - CORRECT ANSWER - A simple protein bound to DNA, involved in
the coiling of chromosomes
locus - CORRECT ANSWER - particular location on a chromosome
occupied by a specific gene
homologous chromosomes - CORRECT ANSWER - chromosomes of the same
size, shape, that code for the same genes
alleles - CORRECT ANSWER - a variation of a gene
Meiosis - CORRECT ANSWER - halves the ploidy. makes gametes for sexual
reproduction
properties of life - CORRECT ANSWER - Reproduction
