1Individuals heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation often have, at metaphase 1 of meiosis:
- ABoth a chromosome bridge and a fragment
- BA loop in a bivalent
- CLarge number of unpaired chromosomes
- DNone of the other answers
- EA quadrivalent
2The maximum value of r, the recombination percentage, is 50% because:
- AChromosomes have 2 chromatids
- BCrossing over is between 2 of the 4 chromatids present in a bivalent
- CIn females, only one of the 4 products of meiosis develops into an egg, but in males all products form sperm
- DNone of the other answers
- EAt anaphase II, the bivalents split into the 2 chromosomes
3The coding sequence of a gene is called
- AAn exon
- BA partitioning sequence
- CA promoter
- DAn intron
- EAn operon
4Non-coding DNA can best be described as:
- ADNA that codes for factors that regulate gene expression
- BIncluding stretches of DNA that may have an as yet undefined function for the organism
- CDNA that is composed of repetitive sequences of bases
- DDNA that is the promoter region for genes
- E“junk” DNA that is of little or no value to the organism
5A “jumping gene” is more often called a:
- ANon-coding DNA element
- BTranscription sequence
- CTransposable element
- DPartitioning sequence
- ERepetition sequence
6Given that different organisms can have sections of DNA that are almost identical, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
- AThese organisms are always very closely related, as with chimpanzees and humans
- BIdentical sections of DNA will always perform the same function, regardless of the organisms in which they are found
- CThis DNA is usually non-functional
- DThis is only true for repetitive DNA
- EThis constitutes evidence of evolution of these organisms from a common ancestor
7Phenotypic variation between individuals of a species:
- AIs the basis upon which natural selection acts
- BIs solely a result of genetic differences
- CIs greater than variation between members of different species
- DHas its primary source in environmental effects
- EIs a result of the deletion of specific genes
8Which of the following statements about DNA is CORRECT?
- ATransposable Elements repair DNA damage
- BDNA synthesis is self-perpetuating and does not require enzyme mediation
- CIntrons are segments of genes that are inserted at replication forks
- DMitochondrial DNA is replicated in the nucleus
- EOnly 2 per cent of mammalian DNA codes for proteins
9Genes are being discovered using cDNA. cDNA is:
- ACreated from mRNA transcripts, and therefore does not include introns
- BNone of the answers are correct
- CA direct copy of the DNA at a particular gene locus
- DThe complementary double-stranded DNA of a specific gene
- EOnly useful if the gene product is an enzyme
10Genomes are measured as:
- AThe number of base pairs of DNA in a somatic cell
- BThe total number of base pairs of DNA in a haploid set of different chromosomes of an organism
- CNone of the answers are correct
- DThe number of chromosomes in a somatic cell of an organism
- EThe number of genes found in the nuclear DNA of an organism
