Module 1: BIOD 102/ BIOD102 (Latest 2025/ 2026 Update) Essential Biology II W/Lab | Questions & Answers| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified Solutions)- Portage Learning QUESTION What is a triplet code? Answer: A triplet code is a non-overlapping reading frame in which three bases encode for a single amino acid QUESTION The lagging strand must be replicated in a series of fragments called ____________. Answer: Okazaki fragments QUESTION True or False; If false, explain why the statement is false: Selective degradation is a form of post-transcription regulation. Answer: False; Selective degradation is a form of post-translation regulation QUESTION Which modification to pre-mRNA involves the addition of a guanine nucleotide that has been modified by the attachment of phosphates? Answer: 5' cap QUESTION The precise sequence of genetic information is called the ______, while observable characteristics are collectively known as a ________. Answer: genotype; phenotype QUESTION Which of the following is not one of the steps involved in the termination of translation? a. Disassembly of the translation initiation complex b. Binding of a releasing factor c. Ribosomal subunit binds to mature mRNA d. Liberation of completed polypeptide chain Answer: c QUESTION During the elongation phase of transcription, in what direction does the RNA polymerase glide across the DNA? Answer: 5' -- 3' QUESTION Which enzyme untwists and separates the helix parent strands at the replication fork? Answer: Helicase QUESTION Which type of RNA is synthesized from a complementary DNA strand and contains the exact sequence of DNA that dictates "how" to build a protein? Answer: mRNA QUESTION How do acetylation and methylation of histone proteins act as an "on"/"off switch of transcription? Your Answer: Answer: Acetylation, which is the addition of acetyl groups to an amino acid of the histone (within chromatin) tail, flips the switch "on", inducing transcription. Methylation, which is the addition of methyl groups to the amino acid of the histone tail, flips the switch "off", inhibiting transcription QUESTION Germ cells contain a specialized enzyme called ________ that facilitates the lengthening of telomeres.
