,Version Final Exam 1
1. Multiple Choice
Which Statement Is True About The Nitrogenous Base Composition Of Double Stranded
DNA?
A. The Percentage Of A+T = The Percentage Of G+C
B. Both Of The Above Statements Are True
C. The Percentage Of A+G = The Percentage Of T+C
D. None Of The Above
– Because In Double-Stranded DNA, Purines (A+G) Equal Pyrimidines (T+C) Due To
Base Pairing Rules.
2. Multiple Choice
The Arrow On The Bottom Left Is Pointing To A Region Of DNA That Is Being
Replicated:
A. Discontinuously
B. Continuously
C. Semi-Discontinuously
D. Randomly
– Replication On The Leading Strand Occurs Continuously.
3. Fill In The Blank
You Are Designing A Drug To Block DNA Polymerization (The Reaction Catalyzed By
DNA Polymerase). You Want To Design A Synthetic Nucleotide That Acts As A
"Blocker" Of The Growing Chain. Based On What We Learned In Class, You Should
Focus On Altering What Is Attached To Which Carbon?
,A. 5'
B. 3'
C. 1'
D. 2'
– The 3' Carbon Of The Sugar Is Where DNA Polymerase Adds Nucleotides; Blocking It
Prevents Chain Elongation.
4. Multiple Choice
Heat Disrupts Hydrogen Bonds. What Would Be The Consequence Of Heating DNA?
A. The Nitrogenous Bases Would Separate From The DNA Backbone Leaving Free
Nitrogenous Bases In Solution
B. The Nucleotides Would Separate From Each Other Leading To A Pool Of Free
Nucleotides
C. The Double Stranded DNA Would Become Single Stranded
D. The Sugar-Phosphate Backbone Would Break
– Heating Breaks Hydrogen Bonds, Causing Double-Stranded DNA To Separate Into
Single Strands (Denaturation).
5. Multiple Choice (Choose All That Apply)
Which Of The Following Newly-Synthesized DNA Strands Would At Some Point
Contain RNA?
A. Leading Strand
B. Lagging Strand
C. Okazaki Fragments
D. None
– RNA Primers Are Needed For Both Leading And Lagging Strand Synthesis, Including
Okazaki Fragments.
, 6. Multiple Choice
In Both PCR And In Vivo Replication:
A. Polymerase Adds To The 3' End Of A Growing Strand Of DNA
B. None Of The Above Are True
C. Heat Is Used To Separate The Two Strands
D. Both A Leading And Lagging Strand Exist
– DNA Polymerase Always Adds Nucleotides To The 3' End Of The Growing Strand.
7. True Or False
One Major Difference Between In Vitro Replication And In Vivo Replication Is That In
Vitro Replication Only Involves The Transcription Of A Short Fragment Of DNA,
Whereas In Vivo Replication Involves Transcription Of The Entire Genome.
A. True
B. False
The Statement Confuses Replication With Transcription. PCR (In Vitro Replication)
Amplifies DNA, Not Transcribes RNA.
8. Multiple Choice
In Which Cells Would You NOT Expect To Find Telomerase Activity?
A. Stem Cells From An Early Mouse Embryo
B. Breast Cancer Cells In Culture At UNC Hospitals
C. Germ Cells In The Testes Of A Blue Whale
D. Skin Cells From A 75 Year Old Woman
– Most Somatic Cells, Like Skin Cells From An Older Adult, Do Not Have Active
Telomerase.
