Study Notes
Protein Synthesis & Mutations Quiz - Study Notes
- Question 1: Transcription of AAGCTGGGA results in a mRNA strand with the sequence UUCGACCCU.
- Question 2: Transfer RNA (tRNA) retrieves amino acids from the cytoplasm for protein building.
- Question 3: Mutations are changes in an organism's DNA. A likely cause is insertion of a nucleotide into the DNA sequence.
- Question 4: Experiment with UUUUUU in a test tube producing only phenylalanine indicates that UUU codes for phenylalanine.
- Question 5: The DNA sequence ATCAGCGCTGGC codes for 4 amino acids.
- Question 6: DNA (DNA) must be analysed to determine the molecular sequence of a gene.
- Question 7: Hydrogen bonds must be broken to separate DNA strands during transcription.
- Question 8: Segment 2 has a mutation; its sequence differs from the others: (Segment 1: T-A-G-G-C; Segment 2: G-G-T-G-A; Segment 3: G-A-T-T-A; Segment 4: C-A-A-T-G)
- Question 9: The process shown at point Z in the diagram is Transcription.
- Question 10: Translation in eukaryotes occurs in the cytoplasm.
- Question 11: The letter P in the RNA molecule represents a phosphate group.
- Question 12: Proteins are diverse due to various sequences and numbers of amino acids.
- Question 13: Messenger RNA delivers instructions for making proteins.
- Question 14: RNA is not a permanent copy of DNA (RNA is an intermediate).
- Question 15: A change in DNA sequence leading to a different amino acid coded for within a protein will result in a change in phenotype (observable characteristic). If the amino acid remains unchanged, there would be no phenotype change.
- Question 16: AUG-CCC-GAG-UGA-ACC translates to Met-Pro-Glu-STOP.
- Question 17: DNA stores genetic information, while RNA relays this information for protein synthesis.
- Question 18: A frameshift mutation often results in a nonfunctional polypeptide by altering the reading frame.
- Question 19: Amino acids (molecule 3) are the building blocks of proteins.
- Question 20: A gene, not an entire chromosome, is copied for protein synthesis.
- Question 21: Thymine is a nitrogen base in protein synthesis.
- Question 22: Chromosomal mutations, affecting many genes, have the most impactful effect on an organism's phenotype, compared to gene mutations
- Question 23: Gamete cells (sex cells) are the only type of cells whose mutations appear in offspring.
