BIO BEYOND: GENETIC REPLICATION 2025
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Which bases pair in DNA?
In the simulation below, build the strand that is complementary to the one
shown. In this case, you are not replicating the strand but completing it. -
Correct answer-Thymine
Adenine
Guanine
Cytosine
Cytosine
Thymine
Thymine
Adenine
Guanine
Thymine
To continue, click on the image that you think best represents how DNA
normally looks in the cell. - Correct answer-First image
Looking at the images, how many chromosomes are there in a typical
human? - Correct answer-46
, Page |2
What do you notice about the chromosomes in both images? - Correct
answer-They come in pairs
Why are chromosomes a poor way to think of how DNA is normally stored?
- Correct answer-DNA only looks like this during replication
The top image, called a karyogram or karyotype, is from a human female,
while the bottom one is from a human male. What major difference do you
notice? - Correct answer-The male has a set of mismatched chromosomes
Thinking back to what you learned about genetics, what do the colored
bands on the chromosome represent? - Correct answer-Genes
What do the images pointing to each colored band represent? - Correct
answer-Phenotypes
From your exploration of DNA structure and biological macromolecules,
what do you recall is the function of DNA in the cell? - Correct answer-
