BSC 108 Exam 3 Kennedy Questions and Answers 100%
Correct!!
The structure of a strand of DNA. - is the location where the parent cells is
ANSWER -it is a double helix, like a twisted separating and the complimentary nucleotide is
ladder. being added creating the two new strands
the ladder rings are nucleotide subunits and they
have a covalent bond to the sugar phosphate
backbone (made of deoxyribose and a How does DNA determine specific traits
phosphate group) (phenotypes)? - ANSWER -Phenotypes
arise from the actions of a wide variety of
proteins. To get these proteins this is what
What are the nucleotide subunits? - happens. DNA transfers genetic information
ANSWER -adenine, guanine, cytosine, and through transcription to RNA. Then through
thymine translation genetic info is transferred from RNA
into a polypeptide (protein strand)
How are the subunits held together? -
ANSWER -through a hydrogen bond What is the structure of RNA? - ANSWER -
It is a single-stranded nucleic acid.
it is the same as DNA except it uses ribose
What are the nucleotide subunits compliments? - instead of deoxyribose in the sugar phosphate
ANSWER -Adenine and thymine backbone and it uses uracil instead of thymine
cytosine and guanine
tRNA - ANSWER -transfer RNA: translation
How does DNA replicate? - ANSWER -the of the genetic message carried in the mRNA into
parent strand breaks off into two and then the amino acid language of proteins (converts the
enzymes (DNA polymerases) attach the three-letter words, codons, of nucleic acids to the
complimentary nucleotide to each side, creating amino acid words of proteins)
two separate daughter strands
What is the function of mRNA? -
What is the location site of where DNA ANSWER -Messenger molecules carry the
replication begins on the double helix called? - coding sequences for protein synthesis and are
ANSWER -the origins of replication called transcripts.
What is created when replication proceeds in rRNA - ANSWER -ribsosomal RNA
both directions? - ANSWER -replication makes up ribosomes which are the organelles in
bubbles, they are created because at the origin the cytoplasm that coordinate the functioning of
the replication process proceeds in other mRNA and tRNA and actually make polypeptides
