Answer
-
During transcription, DNA codes for polypeptides.
-
During transcription, DNA codes for mRNA, which codes for polypeptides during translation

During translation, DNA codes for mRNA, which codes for polypeptide during transcription
-
none of the above
Question 2
Question
A mutation prevents a gene from being transcribed into an mRNA. The mutation most likely disrupts
Answer
-
the promoter
-
the terminator
-
the start codon
-
the stop codon
-
both a and c
Question 3
Question
The functional product of a structural gene is
Answer
-
tRNA
-
mRNA
-
rRNA
-
a polypeptide
-
a, b, and c.
Question 4
Question
Which of the following is not a property of the genetic code?
Answer
-
It specifies the amino acids within a polypeptide
-
It is composed of codons, which are specific sequences of three bases.
-
It has a start codon, which specifies the starting point for polypeptide synthesis.
-
It has stop codons, which specify the end of polypeptide synthesis,
-
It determines the rate of transcription.
Question 5
Question
If a eukaryotic mRNA failed to have a cap attached to it 5' end, what would the negative consequence(s) be?
Answer
-
The mRNA would not properly exit the nucleus
-
The mRNA would not properly bind to a ribosome
-
The mRMA would not receive a Poly A tail.
-
The mRNA would not use the correct start codon.
