might be the advantage of this type of diet?
a) unsaturated fats solidify the cell membrane
b) unsaturated fats increase fluidity of a cell's membrane

an allosteric inhibitor is introduces into a cells nucleus. the inhibitor shuts down the enzyme
topoisomerase. during DNA replication, which of the following would you expect to happen?
a) DNA polymerase will be unable to collect nucleotides for the new DNA strand
b) DNA helicase will be unable to completely unwind the double-helix
c) the replication bubble will form
,3|Page
d) primate will not set the primer to signal for DNA polymerase - ANSWER-B
which of the following would NOT be found in a DNA sequence

b)guanine
c)thymine
d) uracil - ANSWER-D
A segment of pre-mRNA is cut up by spliceosomes so that 3 eons & 2 introns are formed. How
many cuts were made on the pre-mRNA?
a) 3
b) 4
c) 5
d) 6 - ANSWER-B
if a DNA strand contains the triplet nucleotides ATG-GCC-GCT, what would be the set of anti-
codons that accompany the transcribed mRNA during translation?
a) TAG-CGG-CGA
b) AUG-GCC-GCT
c) ATG-GCC-GCT
d) UAG-CGG-CGA - ANSWER-D
which of the following would you expect to enter a cell at the fastest rate without the aid of
transport proteins?
, 4|Page
a) water
b) protons
c) glucose
d) oxygen - ANSWER-D
Griffith ran an experiment in which he exposed mice to two kinds of bacteria: those with an
outer protein coat & those without a protein coat. the bacteria with the protein coat were
resistant to the mice's immune system & caused the mice to become sick & die. the bacteria
without the coat were harmless. Griffith found that when he mixed dead. harmful bacteria with
living harmless bacteria, the mice still die. what is the best conclusion from these results? -
ANSWER-genetic material from the deadly bacteria transferred to the harmless bacteria,
causing them to manufacture a protein coat & made them resistant to the mice's immune
response
you are a cell biologist studying the lifecycle of grasshopper cells. you observe the cells in their
G2 phase & sicker 200 unites of DNA. how much DNA would you expect to find in the
grasshopper's cells if you observed them in their G1 phase?
a) 400
b) 100
c) 50
d) 200 - ANSWER-B
genes A,B, & C are linked genes. gene A & gene B show a recombination frequency of 32%. gene
B & gene C show a recombination frequency of 19%. which of these is a possible order for genes
A,B, & C on the chromosome?
a) B-C-A
b) B-A-C
