BIOL 1201 LICATA EXAM 4 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 2026 VERIFIED.
One gene- one enzyme hypothesis - ANS That a gene dictates the production of a specific
enzyme
two examples of nonenzyme proteins - ANS keratin and insulin
Both nucleic acids and proteins are ____________ with specific sequences of ____________
that convey information. - ANS polymers
monomors
transcription - ANS the synthesis of RNA using information in the DNA
it carries a genetic message from the DNA to the protein- synthesizing machinery of the cell.
is a faithful transcript of the gene's protein building instructions - ANS mRNA
Translation - ANS is the synthesis of a polypeptide using the information in the mRNA
site of translation - ANS ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm.

, transcription occurs where - ANS in the nucleus
the transcription of a protein-coding eukaryotic gene results in - ANS pre-mRNA
primary trnascript - ANS mRNA before processing
Do bacterial cells have pre-mRNA and what is special about their translation? - ANS no
translation can begin while its transcription is still in progress
Triplets of nucleotide bases - ANS are the smallest units of uniform length that can code for
all the amino acids
Triplet code - ANS A set of three-nucleotide-long words that specify the amino acids for
polypeptide chains.
The strand of DNA that provides the pattern or template for the sequence of nucleotides in an
RNA transcript - ANS template strand
mRNA triplets and the DNA nucleotide triplets along the nontemplate strand - ANS codons
the nontemplate DNA is called _________ because why? - ANS the coding strand
the coding strand is complementary (not antiparallel) to the mRNA except for T and U
